The Wolf and the Crane

Fables by Aesop

A RICH Man wanted to tell a certain lie, but the lie was of such
monstrous size that it stuck in his throat; so he employed an
Editor to write it out and publish it in his paper as an editorial.
But when the Editor presented his bill, the Rich Man said:

"Be content - is it nothing that I refrained from advising you
about investments?"
