A lion and a wild ass went hunting together, the lion relying on his strength and the wild ass on his swiftness of foot. When they had caught some animals, the lion divided the spoils and set out the shares. “The first,” he said, “I shall take as my due, for I am king; the second, as an equal partner; and as for the third, it will bring you great harm unless you choose to run away.”

It is wise in all things to judge oneself by one’s own strength, and not to join forces or enter into partnership with those more powerful than oneself.
