“It doesn’t seem
fair that he just switched sides whenever he wanted,” squawked Crow.
“No, not fair at
all,” growled Bear, “Bat has wings but he did not stay with the
birds.”
“And he has teeth but
did not always help the mammals,” added Crow.
All of the animals
nodded and looked at Bat, “Because you could not choose your friends
during war, you will not have them during peace. From this point forward, you will only fly at night when everyone
else is sleeping. You will
have no friends among the mammals or the birds.”
And
that is why Bat doesn’t have any friends.
(The morale of the fable: Choose your friends
carefully and remain faithful to them.)
