A raven caught in a trap prayed to Apollo, promising to burn frankincense in his honor. But once freed from danger, he forgot his promise. Caught again in another trap, he passed over Apollo and promised to offer a sacrifice to Hermes. But Hermes said to him, “You wretch, how can I trust you, when you disowned and wronged your former lord?” Those who prove ungrateful to their benefactors will find no help when trouble overtakes them.
