When the keeper returned and found the hives empty, he was very much upset and stood staring at them for some time. Before long the bees came back from gathering honey, and, finding their hives overturned and the keeper standing by, they made for him with their stings.

When you hit back make sure you have got the right man.

They put to sea, and it so fell out ,that ship and goods were both lost by stress of weather: but the three merchants byprovidence got safe to land. Since the time of this miscarriage, the bat never stirs abroad till night, for fear of his creditors.
The bramble lays hold of all the deaths he can come at in hope to light upon his own again: and the cormorant is still sauntering by the sea-side, to see if he can find any of his brass cast up.
Any notable misfortune will stick by a man as long as lie live。
