The sick lion

　　A lion had come to the end of his days. He lay helpless under a tree.

　　The animals came around him. When they saw that he was going to die, they thought to themselves, "Now is the time to pay him back."

　　So the boar came up and rushed at him with his tusks.

　　Then a bull gored him with his horns. The lion still lay helpless before them.

　　So the ass felt quite safe. He turned his tail to the lion and kicked up his heels into his face.

　　"This is a double death." growled the lion.
