THE BULL AND THE GOAT

A Bull once escaped from a Lion by entering a cave which the

Goatherds used to house their flocks in stormy weather and at

night. It happened that one of the Goats had been left behind,

and the Bull had no sooner got inside than this Goat lowered his

head and made a rush at him, butting him with his horns. As the

Lion was still prowling outside the entrance to the cave, the

Bull had to submit to the insult.

"Do not think," he said, "that I submit to your cowardly

treatment because I am afraid of you. When that Lion leaves, I'll

teach you a lesson you won't forget."

_It is wicked to take advantage of another's distress._
