The Sweet-Scented Name/Equality
Equality
A BIG fish overtook a little one and wanted to swallow him.
The little fish squeaked out:
"It is unjust. I also want to live. All fishes are equal before the law."
The big fish answered:
"What's the matter? I won't discuss whether we are equal, but if you don't want me to eat you, then do you please swallow me if you can—swallow me, don't be afraid, I shan't set on you."
The little fish opened his mouth and poked about trying to get the big fish in, sighed at last and said:
"You have it. Swallow me."
