A Debate was conducted among the beasts of the field as to which of the animals deserved the most credit for producing the greatest number of whelps at a birth.
They rushed together like a storm into the presence of the Lioness and demanded of her the settlement of the argument.
"And you," they said, "how many sons have you at a birth?'
The Lioness laughed at them, and said: "Why! I
have only one; but that one is altogether a
thousands like you."
Moral: The value is in the worth, not
in the number.
