The Wild Ass and the Lion A wild ass

The Wild Ass and the Lion

A wild ass and a Lion entered into
an alliance so that they might capture the beasts of the forest with greater
ease.  The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while
the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed.  When
they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook
to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. 
'I will take the first share,' he said, 'because I am King:  and the
second share, as a partner with you in the chase:  and the third share
(believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly
resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can.' 
Might makes right.

The Widow and the Sheep A certain poor

The Widow and the Sheep

A certain poor widow had one solitary
Sheep.  At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid
expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that
with the fleece she sheared the flesh.  The Sheep, writhing with pain,
said, 'Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to
the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me
in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer,
who will shear and not hurt me.' 
The least outlay is not always the
greatest gain.

The Hawk, the Kite, and
the Pigeons

The pigeons, terrified by the appearance
of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to defend them.  He at once consented. 
When they had admitted him into the cote, they found that he made more
havoc and slew a larger number of them in one day than the Kite could pounce
upon in a whole year. 
Avoid a remedy that is worse than
the disease.

The Stag in the Ox Stall A stag

The Stag in the Ox-Stall

A stag, roundly chased by the hounds
and blinded by fear to the danger he was running into, took shelter in
a farmyard and hid himself in a shed among the oxen.  An Ox gave him
this kindly warning:  'O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of
your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your
enemy?'  The Stag replied:  'Only allow me, friend, to stay where
I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting
my escape.'  At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed
his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several
laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him.  The Stag,
congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks
to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need.  One of
them again answered him:  'We indeed wish you well, but the danger
is not over.  There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who
has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life
is still in peril.'  At that moment the master himself entered, and
having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went
up to their racks and cried out:  'Why is there such a scarcity of
fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on.  Those
lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away.'  While he thus
examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag
peeping out of the straw.  Then summoning his laborers, he ordered
that the Stag should be seized and killed.

The Two Dogs A man had two dogs nbsp

The Two Dogs

A man had two dogs:  a Hound,
trained to assist him in his sports, and a Housedog, taught to watch the
house.  When he returned home after a good day's sport, he always
gave the Housedog a large share of his spoil.  The Hound, feeling
much aggrieved at this, reproached his companion, saying, 'It is very hard
to have all this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate
on the fruits of my exertions.'  The Housedog replied, 'Do not blame
me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to
labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others.' 
Children are not to be blamed for
the faults of their parents.
