22. a slave who becomes a king,a fool who has all he wants to eat,

23. a hateful woman who gets married,and a servant woman who takes the place of her mistress.

24. There are four animals in the world that are small, but very, very clever:

25. Ants: they are weak, but they store up their food in the summer.

26. Rock-badgers: they are not strong either, but they make their homes among the rocks.

27. Locusts: they have no king, but they move in formation.

28. Lizards: you can hold one in your hand, but you can find them in palaces.
