Two Game Cocks were fiercely fighting for the mastery of the farm-yard. One at last put the other to flight. The vanquished¹ Cock skulked² away and hid himself in a quiet corner. The conqueror³, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly⁴ with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air pounced⁵ upon him, and carried him off in his talons⁶. The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery.

Pride goes before destruction.
