Grieving over his loss, the Father resolved to kill the Snake. The next day, when it came out of its hole for food, he took up his axe, but by swinging too hastily, missed its head and cut off only the end of its tail. After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had always loved beautiful and artistic things, though before leaving America I had had a very little chance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27998]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had always loved beautiful and artistic things, though before leaving America I had had a very little chance of seeing any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45076]]></link><description><![CDATA[The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil chorus on every man's door, and then lays for the owner around the corner with a club.
