The Falcon and the Little Dog is a fable written by Jean De La Fontaine, a famous French poet and fabulist. The story revolves around a little dog who is always barking and boasting about his courage and strength. One day, a falcon overhears the little dog and decides to teach him a lesson. The falcon challenges the little dog to fly with him to the top of a high mountain, where they will find a treasure. The little dog accepts the challenge and follows the falcon, but soon realizes that he cannot keep up with the falcon's pace. The falcon then drops the little dog from a great height, and the little dog falls into a pond. The little dog is humbled by the experience and learns that boasting and pride can lead to one's downfall. The fable teaches the lesson that it is better to be humble and modest than to be arrogant and boastful. The book is beautifully illustrated and is suitable for children and adults alike.ENAMOURED of the belle, his lands he sold; The family estates were turned to gold; And many who the purchases had made, With pelf accumulated by their trade, Assumed the airs of men of noble birth: -- Fair subjects oft for ridicule and mirth!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
