Hanging Together
Once some cranes were eating grain from a farmer’s field, so he set a trap and caught several cranes .
Among them was a stork.
“You can see I don’t belong here,” said the stork. “I’m a law- abiding bird. Please let me go.”
“You may well be what you claim to be,” said the farmer. “But I caught you along
with these robbers, so you will have to hang with them.”
Moral: You are judged by the company you keep.
