A lion, a fox, a jackal, and a wolf went on a hunt together one day. They worked hard all day but were unable to locate anything satisfactory. They were only able to catch a deer in the late afternoon. The four monsters encircled the poor creature and slaughtered it as quickly as they could. Then they made the decision to share their meal.
The lion was the lord of the jungle and the strongest of all animals. As a result, when he offered that everyone share the meal, the other critters agreed.
The lion said, placing one of its paws on the dead animal,
"You see, it is my right as a member of the hunting party to receive one of these pieces."
The others agreed with a nod."But then again, I am the Beast King. So I'll have to wait a little longer "he exclaimed.
The others exchanged uneasy glances.
"Plus, I was in charge of the hunt. As a result, I think I'm entitled to a little more "declared he.
The others murmured something, but no one could hear it.
"As for the fourth stake, if you want to dispute with me about who owns it, go ahead and start arguing, and we'll see who gets it."
The others mumbled, "Humph." With their heads bowed, they went away. They realized that arguing about their shares was fruitless.
You can share the fruits of the great's labors, but not the spoils.
