TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pi. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pi.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In contrast to Central and Eastern Canada, housing conditions in Western Canada remain very tight and are showing increased signs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32202]]></link><description><![CDATA[In contrast to Central and Eastern Canada, housing conditions in Western Canada remain very tight and are showing increased signs of speculation.

If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was a tough game for Mercer because she hadn't skated since getting her bell rung last week and didn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42629]]></link><description><![CDATA[This was a tough game for Mercer because she hadn't skated since getting her bell rung last week and didn't have much to do.
