My Cup Has Overflowed

    I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now. But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow   And as I go along life's way, I'm reaping better than I sowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, Cause my cup has overflowed.     Haven't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going's tough But I've got loving ones all around me, and that makes me rich enough.   I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He's bestowed.

They fought until one of them was beaten and crawled off to a corner to hide. The Cock that had won the battle flew to the top of the hen-house, and, proudly flapping his wings, crowed with all his might to tell the world about his victory. But an Eagle, circling overhead, heard the boasting chanticleer and, swooping down, carried him off to his nest. His rival saw the deed, and coming out of his corner, took his place as master of the farmyard.   Moral of the story: Pride goes before a fall.
