<h2>THE LION AND THE WILD ASS</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Lion and a Wild Ass went out hunting together: the latter was
to run down the prey by his superior speed, and the former would
then come up and despatch it. They met with great success; and when
it came to sharing the spoil the Lion divided it all into three
equal portions. "I will take the first," said he, "because I am
King of the beasts; I will also take the second, because, as your
partner, I am entitled to half of what remains; and as for the
third—well, unless you give it up to me and take yourself off
pretty quick, the third, believe me, will make you feel very sorry
for yourself!"</p>
