Aesop’s Fables : Hanging Together

Let us enjoy reading this one of Aesop’s Fables of Hanging Together .

The cranes were eating grain from his field, so the farmer set a trap and caught several of them.

Among them was a stork.

“You can see I don’t belong here,” said the stork. “I’m a law- abiding bird. Please let me go.”

You may well be what you claim to be,” said the farmer. “But I caught you along with these robbers, so you will have to hang with them.”

Moral: You are judged by the company you keep.
