Aesop's Fables
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.
