In the wheats a day, the rat posed to the crow,
“why do you scream at the dwells of man?”
“I scream thus they hear me. I scream thus they see me. I scream thus they fear me.”
The crow said to the rat

“And why I must ask, do you kindle their fear?”
The rat again posed and the crow again said,
“because I myself fear them, as I hope they do too
Their fear keeps me safe, unlike you dear rat.
They hate and despise you but fear you less so
Thus your demise may come from man to you.”
Then the crow took aloft and the rat was left alone
