An ape asked a fox to spare him some part of her exceeding length of tail, with which he might be enabled to cover his most unseemly hinder parts. "For of what use," Said he, "Is a tail of such extraordinary length? for what purpose do you drag such a vast weight along the ground?" The fox answered: "Even if it were longer, and much bulkier, I would rather drag it along the ground and through mud and thorns, than give you a part; that you might not appear more comely through what covers me." 
Greedy and rich man, this fable has a lesson for you, who, though you have a superabundance, still give nothing to the poor.
