The Eagle And The Arrow AN EAGLE sat on a lofty rock, watching
the movements of a Hare whom he sought to make his prey. An
archer, who saw the Eagle from a place of concealment, took an
accurate aim and wounded him mortally. The Eagle gave one look
at the arrow that had entered his heart and saw in that single
glance that its feathers had been furnished by himself. "It is a
double grief to me," he exclaimed, "that I should perish by an
arrow feathered from my own wings."
