Aesop's Fables

Aesop
The Huntsman and the Fisherman

The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar

The Fox and the Crow >

An old woman found an empty jar which had lately been full of prime old wine and which still retained the fragrant smell of its former contents.  She greedily placed it several times to her nose, and drawing it backwards and forwards said, “O most delicious!  How nice must the Wine itself have been, when it leaves behind in the very vessel which contained it so sweet a perfume!”

The memory of a good deed lives.
