      The Man and the Lion


A Man and a Lion traveled together through the forest.

 They soon began to discuss of their respective superiority to each other in strength and prowess.

 As they were disputing, they passed a statue carved in stone, which represented "a Lion strangled by a Man."

The traveler pointed to it and said: "See there! How strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts."

The Lion replied: "This statue was made by one of you men. If we Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the Man placed under the paw of the Lion."

Moral: One story is good, till another is told.
