Fox And Lion
Aesop Fable: Fox And Lion
A fox entered into partnership with a Lion on the pretense
of becoming his servant. Each undertook his proper duty
in accordance with his own nature and powers.
The Fox
discovered and pointed out the prey; the Lion sprang on it
and seized it. The Fox soon became jealous of the Lion carrying
off the Lion’s share, and said that he would no longer
find out the prey, but would capture it on his own account.
The next day he attempted to snatch a lamb from the fold,
but he himself fell prey to the huntsmen and hounds.
