The Lion and the Fox
        A FOX entered into partnership with a Lion on the pretense of
        becoming his servant.  Each undertook his proper duty in
        accordance with his own nature and powers.  The Fox discovered
        and pointed out the prey; the Lion sprang on it and seized it.
        The Fox soon became jealous of the Lion carrying off the Lion's
        share, and said that he would no longer find out the prey, but
        would capture it on his own account.  The next day he attempted
        to snatch a lamb from the fold, but he himself fell prey to the
        huntsmen and hounds.
