Phaedrus

It has been related that dogs drink at the river Nile running along, that they may not be seized by the crocodiles.

A mountain was in labour, sending forth dreadful groans, and there was in the region the highest expectation. After all, it brought forth a mouse. 5

No one returns with goodwill to the place which has done him a mischief.

Everyone is bound to bear patiently the results of his own behavior.
