Image description

Le Chat, la Belette et le Petit Lapin; fable relating how a rabbit returns to his burrow to find that a squatter weasel has occupied his home; the weasel refuses to budge but suggests that they ask the cat to be the judge of the case; the cat judge solves the problem by grasping both plaintiff and defendant with his strong claws and devours them both; the moral of the story is that rulers of small states may be swallowed if they seek arbitration from greater rulers;
