Fable
Three Bullocks & A lion
A Lion had been watching three Bullocks
feeding in an open field. He had tried to attack them several times, but they
had kept together, and helped each other to drive him off. The Lion had little
hope of eating them, for he was no match for three strong Bullocks with their
sharp horns and hoofs. But he could not keep away from that field, for it is
hard to resist watching a good meal, even when there is little chance of
getting it.
Then
one day the Bullocks had a quarrel, and when the hungry Lion came to look at
them and lick his chops as he was accustomed to do, he found them in separate
corners of the field, as far away from one another as they could get.
It
was now an easy matter for the Lion to attack them one at a time, and this he
proceeded to do with the greatest satisfaction and relish.
Moral
- In unity is strength.
