The Lion and the Dolphin.

A Lion, roaming by the sea-shore, saw a Dolphin lift up its head out ofthe waves, and asked him to contract an alliance with him; saying thatof all the animals, they ought to be the best friends, since the one wasthe king of beasts on the earth, and the other was the sovereign rulerof all the inhabitants of the ocean. The Dolphin gladly consented tothis request. Not long afterwards the Lion had a combat with a wildbull, and called on the Dolphin to help him. The Dolphin, though quitewilling to give him assistance, was unable to do so, as he could not byany means reach the land. The Lion abused him as a traitor. The Dolphinreplied: "Nay, my friend, blame not me, but Nature, which, while givingme the sovereignty of the sea, has quite denied me the power of livingupon the land."

Let every one stick to his own element.
