A short story by Ambrose Bierce

The Farmer And The Fox

________________________________________________
Title:     The Farmer And The Fox
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

A Farmer who had a deadly and implacable hatred against a certain Fox, caught him and tied some tow to his tail; then carrying him to the centre of his own grain-field, set the tow on fire and let the animal go.

"Alas!" said the Farmer, seeing the result; "if that grain had not been heavily insured, I might have had to dissemble my hatred of the Fox."
