A Man and a Satyr became friends, and determined to live together. All went well for a while, until one day in wintertime the Satyr saw the Man blowing on his hands. "Why do you do that? " he asked. "To warm my hands," said the Man. That same day, when they sat down to supper together, they each had a steaming hot bowl of porridge, and the Man raised his bowl to his mouth and blew on it. "Why do you do that? " asked the Satyr. "To cool my porridge," said the Man. The Satyr got up from the table. "Goodbye," said he, "I'm going: I can't be friends with a man who blows hot and cold with the same breath. "
