The Wild Ass and the Lion故事
    A WILD ASS and a Lion entered into an alliance so that they might
    capture the beasts of the forest with greater ease.  The Lion
    agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild
    Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed.  When they
    had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion
    undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it
    into three shares.  "I will take the first share," he said,
    "because I am King:  and the second share, as a partner with you
    in the chase:  and the third share (believe me) will be a source
    of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and
    set off as fast as you can."  
    Might makes right.
