Aesop's Fables

The Sick Stag

A sick Stag lay down in a quiet corner of his pasture-ground.

His companions came in great numbers to inquire after his health, and each one helped himself to a share of the food which had been placed for his use; so that he died, not from his sickness, but from the failure of the means of living.

Moral of Aesop's Fable:

"Evil companions bring more hurt than profit"
