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-quarrelling 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.
