The fable shows that those who betray a friendship may escape the vengeance of the wronged, but they cannot escape the wrath of the Almighty.

(From the book “Aesop’s Fables”. Aesop was a legendary ancient Greek sage, poet and fabulist who, by tradition, lived in the 6th century BC. His name became permanently attached to the genre: the Greeks and Romans called all their fables “Aesop’s fables”. According to Herodotus, Aesop was the slave of a certain Iadmon of the island of Samos, was later freed, lived in the time of the Egyptian king Amasis (570–526 BC), and was killed by the priests of Delphi.)
