The Four Oxen and the Lion
The
Four Oxen and the Lion
A Lion used to prowl
about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack
them, but whenever he came near they turned their tails to one another so that
whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At
last, however, they fell a-quarreling among themselves, and each went off to
pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them
one by one and soon made an end of all four. United we stand, divided we fall.
