A Dog, used to eating eggs, saw an Oyster1, and opening his mouth to its widest extent, swallowed it down with the utmost relish2, supposing it to be an egg. Soon afterwards suffering great pain in his stomach, he said: "I deserve all this torment3, for my folly4 in thinking that everything round must be an egg."
