<h2>THE LION AND THE ASS</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Lion and an Ass set up as partners and went a-hunting
together. In course of time they came to a cave in which there were
a number of wild goats. The Lion took up his stand at the mouth of
the cave, and waited for them to come out; while the Ass went
inside and brayed for all he was worth in order to frighten them
out into the open. The Lion struck them down one by one as they
appeared; and when the cave was empty the Ass came out and said,
"Well, I scared them pretty well, didn't I?" "I should think you
did," said the Lion: "why, if I hadn't known you were an Ass, I
should have turned and run myself."</p>
