The Four Oxen and the Lion

A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell.

Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near they

turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached

them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they

fell a-quarrelling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone

in a separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by

one and soon made an end of all four.

United we stand, divided we fall.
