it so happened that a Lion and a Bear were resting not very far from each other. They both chanced to see a strong kid nearby. The great Bear rushed to seize the kid from one direction and the Lion came towards it from the other. Since both the lion and the Bear wanted the prey, they fought savagely for it. In the battle, both received so many wounds that they sank to the ground, as they were too exhausted to continue the contest. Just then the clever fox came by. The fox dashed up, seized the kid in his jaws by his teeth, and whisked it off. The mighty lion and the powerful bear could only watch with helpless rage as a much weaker animal managed to get the prize, which they had themselves set their eyes upon. “It would have been much better," agreed the Lion and Bear, "to have shared the prey between us ourselves in a friendly spirit, rather than lose it to a third party!"
