Burying a Hole

The Ass scolds the Crab that dug a large hole nearby, worried that his reputation would be ruined thereby. For when folks see that dark hollow there in the ground with just the ass nearby and no one else around, they'll rib each other with such a question so crass: "What do you call that hole belonging to that ass?" Indeed, when folks have picked their favorite point of view, no blame-shifting or damage control can save you.
