The Man and the Lion.A Man and a Lion traveled together through the forest. They soon beganto boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength andprowess. As they were disputing, they passed a statue, carved in stone,which represented "A Lion strangled by a Man." The traveler pointed toit and said: "See there! How strong we are, and how we prevail over eventhe king of beasts." The Lion replied: "This statue was made by one ofyou men. If we Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the manplaced under the paw of the Lion." One story is good till another is told. From Aesop's Fables |
