Explore "The Fox and the Bramble" by Esopo on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In making his way through a hedge a Fox missed his footing and caught at a Bramble to save himself from falling.

" The Bramble, interrupting him, replied, "You must have lost your wits, my friend, to catch at me, who am myself always catching at others. "
