From The Fables of Æsop:
A Lion, a Heifer, a Goat, and a Sheep once agreed to share whatever each might catch in hunting. A fine fat stag fell into a snare set by the Goat, who thereupon called the rest together. The Lion divided the stag into four parts. Taking the best piece for himself, he said: "This is mine, of course, as I am the Lion;" taking another portion, he added, "This too is mine by right - the right, if you must know, of the strongest." Further, putting aside the third piece, "That's for the most valiant," said he; "and as for the remaining part, touch it if you dare."

Moral: Lions are dicks.
ReplyDeleteFirst, why is the lion hunting with beasts that don't eat meat?? Second, why are those beasts hunting in the first place? Third, why are they better at hunting than the lion? Lastly, I really like how the lion adds "if you must know" when he takes the second piece of meat. What a dick.
