A Porcupine¹, wanting to shelter himself, desired a nest of Snakes to give him admittance into their cave. They were prevailed upon, and let him in accordingly; but were so annoyed with his sharp prickly quills² that they soon repented³ of their easy compliance⁴, and entreated⁵ the Porcupine to withdraw, and leave them their hole to themselves. "No," says he, "let them quit the place that don't like it; for my part, I am well enough satisfied as I am."

Hospitality is a virtue⁶, but should be wisely exercised; we may by thoughtlessness entertain foes⁷ instead of friends.
