The Lion went once a-hunting along with the Fox,the Jackal,and the Wolf.They hunted and they hunted till at last they surprised a Stag,and soon took its life.Then came the question how the spoil should be divided."Quarter me this Stag," roared the Lion; so the other animals skinned it and cut it into four parts.Then the Lion took his stand in front of the carcass and pronounced judgment:The first quarter is for me in my capacity as King of Beasts; the second is mine as arbiter; another share comes to me for my part in the chase; and as for the fourth quarter,well,as for that,I should like to see which of you will dare to lay a paw upon it."
"Humph," grumbled the Fox as he walked away with his tail between
his legs; but he spoke in a low growl ."You may share the labours of the great,but you will not share the spoil."
