The Kid On The Housetop
Kid climbed up on to the roof of an outhouse, attracted by the grass and other things that grew in the thatch.
As he stood there browsing away, he caught sight of a Wolf passing below, and jeered at him because he couldn't reach him.
The Wolf only looked up and said, "I hear you, my young friend; but it is not you who mock me, but the roof on which you are standing."
