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."
