Three Bullocks and a Lion
A Lion had been watching
three Bullocks feeding in an open
field. He had tried to attack them
several times, but they had kept
together, and helped each other
to drive him off. The Lion had
little hope of eating them, for
he was no match for three
strong Bullocks with their sharp
horns and hoofs. But he could
not keep away from that field,
for it is hard to resist watching
a good meal, even when there is
little chance of getting it.

Then one day the Bullocks had
a quarrel, and when the hungry
Lion came to look at them and
lick his chops as he was accustomed to do, he found them in
separate corners of the field, as
far away from one another as
they could get.
It was now an easy matter for
the Lion to attack them one at a
time, and this he proceeded to
do with the greatest satisfaction
and relish.
In unity is strength.
