About This Quote
Sometimes we feel like we don't have any power to stop the bad things that happen in our lives. We're only human, after all, and we can't always control what others do. In this quote from Aesop's Fables, the hunter prays that the snakes sent to kill him don't actually come after him. Instead, they stay outside and hold a big party instead. He'll still be there to hunt them down, of course, but he'd prefer not to have to kill them.
