Aesop's Fables
THE
SHE-GOATS having obtained a beard by request to
Jupiter, the
He-Goats were sorely
displeased and made complaint that
the females equaled them in
dignity. "Allow them," said Jupiter, "to enjoy an empty honor and to assume the
badge of your
nobler sex, so long as
they are not your equals in
strength or
courage." It matters little if those who are
inferior to us in
merit should be like us in
outside appearances.
