A Lion and a Wild Ass went out hunting together: the latter was

to run down the prey by his superior speed, and the former would

then come up and despatch it. They met with great success; and

when it came to sharing the spoil the Lion divided it all into

three equal portions. "I will take the first," said he, "because

I am King of the beasts; I will also take the second, because, as

your partner, I am entitled to half of what remains; and as for

the third--well, unless you give it up to me and take yourself

off pretty quick, the third, believe me, will make you feel very

sorry for yourself!"

Might makes right.
