One evening, a bat went out to hunt for food even though he was not well. As he flew after some insects, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, a weasel pounced on him. "Please, Mr. Weasel, "the bat pleaded, "please let me go!”
The weasel just laughed, "Certainly not! I am a great hunter of birds! “Thinking quickly, the bat replied, "Oh, but I am not a bird, I am a mouse. Look closely at my face. Do not I look like a mouse?" The weasel agreed and let him go.
A short time late, the bat fell to the ground again and was caught by a second weasel. Once again, he had to plead for his life. "Why shouldn't I kill you? I hunt mice!" exclaimed the weasel."Oh but I am not a mouse. "I am a bat. Have you ever seen a mouse with wings? “He asked, spreading his wings for the weasel to see. The weasel was convinced and set him free.
