The Lion's Share


Once a bear, a wolf and a fox went hunting under the leadership of a lion. Very soon they caught and killed a buffalo. The fox cut the buffalo into four parts. The animals were eagerly waiting to eat their shares. Just then the lion roared, "Keep away from the kill and listen to me. I claim one part of the kill because I was your partner in hunting. I claim a second part because I was your leader. I claim a third part because want it for my cubs. If any one wants the fourth I part, come on, fight me and have it." The bear, the wolf and the fox let the lion have all the four parts of the kill and walked away quietly.
