The Rat and the Honey  [duchas:4370842]

One day a rat was very hungry and he could not get any food. At last he came upon a jar in which there was honey. The jar was too narrow and he could not drink out of it. At last he thought of a plant of putting down his tail into the jar and getting some of the honey. He put down this tail into the jar and pulled it up again. As you know there was honey on his tail. He put his tail into his mouth and sucked it off. In that was he got plenty to eat and he was not hungry anymore.
