From what I understand, I'm supposed to write "tales". Well here's one
The Ant and the Unicorn
The strongest is always right.
We will prove it shortly
A Unicorn was quenching it's thirst
In a clear stream;
A starving Ant suddently appears, looking for a meal,
Brought here by hunger.
"How dare you foul my water hole?
Said the Ant full of righteous fury:
-You will be chastised for you temerity.
-Sire, replies the Unicorn, Your Majesty
Need not be angry;
But rather consider
That I am drinking
More than twenty feet
Downstream from him;
Therefore in no way
Could I spoil his water.
-Oh, yes you do, growled the cruel insect;
And I heard that you spoke ill of me last year.
-How could I, if I were not yet born?
The Unicorn persisted, I am still nursing.
If it were not you, then it must have been your brother.
-I don't have any. -Then it was one of your lot;
Because you are always pestering me,
You, your goblins and your elves.
So I have been told: I must avenge myself."
With that, deep in the forest,
The Ant carried off the Unicorn, and ate it,
Without further ado.
