   10 One good trick is better than ten bad one. One day a fox and a cat were talking. The fox said to cat if the hounds came now, I have many tricks, but you have no trick. After a while they heard the hounds coming. The fox tried all his tricks, but was caught. The cat ran up a tree and was saved. 20 It is too late to shut the stable door when the steed is stolen. 3) It is too late to spare when all is spent.
