peace in mind, let Aesop speak again;
The Lion and the Boar
ON A SUMMER DAY, when the great heat induced a general thirst
among the beasts, a Lion and a Boar came at the same moment to a
small well to drink. They
fiercely disputed which of them should
drink first, and were soon engaged in the agonies of a mortal
combat. When they stopped
suddenly to catch their breath for a
fiercer renewal of the fight, they saw some Vultures waiting in
the distance to feast on the one that should fall first. They at
once made up their quarrel, saying, "It is better for us to
make
friends, than to become the food of Crows or Vultures."
friends, than to become the food of Crows or Vultures."
