A FOX entered into partnership with a Lion on the pretense of becoming
his servant. Each undertook his proper duty in accordance with his own
nature and powers. The Fox discovered and pointed out the prey; the
Lion sprang on it and seized it. The Fox soon became jealous of the
Lion carrying off the Lion’s share, and said that he would no longer
find out the prey, but would capture it on his own account. The next
day he attempted to snatch a lamb from the fold, but he himself fell
prey to the huntsmen and hounds.
