1 A long time ago, the Lion, the Fox, the Jackal, and the Wolf agreed to go hunting together, sharing with each other whatever they found. 2 One day the Wolf ran down a Stag and immediately called his comrades to divide the spoil. 3 Without being asked, the Lion placed himself at the head of the feast to do the carving, and, with a great show of fairness, began to count the guests. 4 "One," he said, counting on his claws, "that is myself the Lion. 5 Two, that's the Wolf, three, is the Jackal, and the Fox makes four." 6 He then very carefully divided the Stag into four equal parts. 7 "I am King Lion," he said, when he had finished, "so of course I get the first part. 8 This next part falls to me because I am the strongest; and _this_ is mine because I am the bravest." 9 He now began to glare at the others very savagely. " 10 If any of you have any claim to the part that is left," he growled, stretching his claws meaningly, "now is the time to speak up." 11 _Might makes right. 12 _ ← previous The Lion, the Ass, and the Foxnext → The Mole and His Mother↑ back to The Aesop for Children This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg19994/141/
