Fable 45 - The Murderer

A man who had committed a murder was being pursued by the parents of his victim. Arriving at the edge of the Nile, he came face
to face with a wolf. He was so scared that he climbed up into a tree at the waterside, where he hid himself. But there he caught sight of
a huge serpent, which was slithering its way towards him. So he dropped down into the river. But in the river a crocodile ate him up.

This fable shows that criminals pursued by the gods are not safe in any element, whether earth, air, or water.
