The Lion And The Boar
Aesop Fable: The Lion And The Boar
On a summer day, when the great heat induced a general
thirst among the beasts, a Lion and a Boar came at the
same moment to a small well to drink.
They fiercely disputed
which of them should drink first, and were soon engaged
in the agonies of a mortal combat. When they
stopped suddenly to catch their breath for a fiercer renewal
of the fight, they saw some Vultures waiting in the distance
to feast on the one that should fall first.
They at
once made up their quarrel, saying, "It is better for us to
make friends, than to become the food of Crows or Vultures."
