<h2>THE LION, THE FOX, AND THE ASS</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Lion, a Fox, and an Ass went out hunting together. They had
soon taken a large booty, which the Lion requested the Ass to
divide between them. The Ass divided it all into three equal parts,
and modestly begged the others to take their choice; at which the
Lion, bursting with fury, sprang upon the Ass and tore him to
pieces. Then, glaring at the Fox, he bade him make a fresh
division. The Fox gathered almost the whole in one great heap for
the Lion's share, leaving only the smallest possible morsel for
himself. "My dear friend," said the Lion, "how did you get the
knack of it so well?" The Fox replied, "Me? Oh, I took a lesson
from the Ass."</p>

others.</p>
