A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used todwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he camenear they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever wayhe approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. Atlast, however, they fell a-quarrelling among themselves, and eachwent off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Thenthe Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of allfour.United we stand, divided we fall.
