<h2>THE LION AND THE BULL</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Lion saw a fine fat Bull pasturing among a herd of cattle and
cast about for some means of getting him into his clutches; so he
sent him word that he was sacrificing a sheep, and asked if he
would do him the honour of dining with him. The Bull accepted the
invitation, but, on arriving at the Lion's den, he saw a great
array of saucepans and spits, but no sign of a sheep; so he turned
on his heel and walked quietly away. The Lion called after him in
an injured tone to ask the reason, and the Bull turned round and
said, "I have reason enough. When I saw all your preparations it
struck me at once that the victim was to be a Bull and not a
sheep."</p>
