The Lion and The Boar

<p><strong>The Lion and the Boar</strong><br><strong>An Aesop's Fable </strong> <br>On a summer day, when the great heat induced a general thirst, a Lion and a Boar came at the same moment to a small well to drink.<br>They fiercely disputed which of them should drink first, and were soon engaged in the agonies of a mortal combat.<br>On their stopping on a sudden to take breath for the fiercer renewal of the strife, they saw some Vultures waiting in the distance to feast on the one which should fall first.<br>They at once made up their quarrel, saying:<br><em>"It is better for us to make friends, than to become the food of Crows or Vultures, as will certainly happen if we are disabled."</em><br><a href="http://www.taleswithmorals.com/the-lion-and-the-boar.htm">http://www.taleswithmorals.com/the-lion-and-the-boar.htm</a></p>
