THE END OF THE FABLES
Once upon a time, there was a fox …
starts the rooster
to compose a fable
But perceives
that it cannot work
because if the fox hears the fable
he will fetch me
Once upon a time there was a farmer …
begins the rooster
to compose a fable
But he realizes again
that cannot work
because if the farmer hears the fable
he will be killed
Once upon a time …
Look here, look there
there are no fables left.
