Read “the lion’s share” by aesop. what is the theme of this fable? the lion went once a-hunting along with the fox, the jackal, and the wolf. they hunted and they hunted until at last they surprised a stag and soon took its life. then came the question how the spoil should be divided. “quarter me this stag,” roared the lion; so the other animals skinned it and cut it into four parts. then the lion took his stand in front of the carcass and pronounced judgment: “the first quarter is for me in my capacity as king of beasts; the second is mine as arbiter; another share comes to me for my part in the chase; and as for the fourth quarter, well, as for that, i should like to see which of you will dare to lay a paw upon it.” “humph,” rumbled the fox as he walked away with his tail between his legs; but he spoke in a low growl. "you may share the labors of the great, but you will not share the spoil."
