L'Estrange: A Fox and a Crab

A Fox that was sharp-set, Surpriz’d a Crab, as he lay out of the Sea upon the Sands, and carried him away. The Crab, when he found that he was to be Eaten, Well (says he) this comes of Meddling where we have Nothing to do; for my Bus’ness lay at Sea, not upon the Land.

No Body Pities a Man for any Misfortune that Befals him, in Matters out of his Way, Bus’ness, or Calling.
