A man caught a weasel in a trap, tied it up, and put it in a vessel of water to drown it. “What a poor return you make,” said the weasel, “for all the good I did you by hunting mice and lizards!” “I grant you that,” he replied. “But you also killed all the poultry, ravaged the whole house, and broke into the pot of meat. So you shall die, for you do us more harm than good.” This fable is apt for those who do a little good but a great deal of harm.
