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