The Man and the Lion
A MAN and a Lion traveled together through
the forest. They soon began to boast of their
respective superiority to each other in
strength and prowess. As they were disputing,
they passed a statue carved in stone,
which represented "a Lion strangled by a
Man." The traveler pointed to it and said:
"See there! How strong we are, and how we
prevail over even the king of beasts." The
Lion replied: "This statue was made by one
of you men. If we Lions knew how to erect
statues, you would see the Man placed under
the paw of the Lion." One story is good, till
another is told.
