The Story of the Flocks and the Rain and the Sun

          When it rains, the goats say, "The enemy have beaten us," and they run away and hide themselves; but the sheep say: "Mother has oiled us," and they remain out in the rain.

    When the sun burns fiercely, the sheep say, "The enemy have beaten us," and go hide themselves in the shade; but the goats say, "Mother has oiled us," and stay in the sun.
