Geographic: London (England); United Kingdom; Ancient Greece
Description: An Eagle that had young ones, looking out for something to feed them with, happened to spy a Fox's cub that lay basking itself abroad in the sun. She made a stoop and trussed it immediately; but before she had carried it quite off, the old Fox, coming home, implored her, with tears in her eyes, to spare her cub, and pity the distress of a poor fond mother who should think no affliction so great as that of losing her child.
