THE LION'S SHARE

A lion, a leopard,a  fox and a wolf went hunting together. They tried hard all day long but could not find anything worth their search. late in the evening they luckily catch a deer. The four hungry beasts attacked the deer and killed it fast . They decided to share their meal.

The lion being the lord of the jungle and superior to all in strength insisted on sharing it amongst them.They all agreed without a word.
Placing one of its paws upon the dead animal, the lion began,

"Well, as a member of the hunting party, it is my right to receive one of these portions."

They nodded in agreement.

"But then, I am also the King of all beast which suggests I may receive a little bit more". he declared.

The other animals looked uneasily at each other.

"And besides, he added, I led the hunt, so I deserve a little more extra". he proclaimed.

The others grumbled something, but not heard.

"As for the fourth share, if you wish to argue with me about its ownership, let's begin, and we will see who will get it finally."

"Hmmmmmm the others grunted. They walked away and saved their heads. They knew it was vain to argue about their shares.
lesson
You may share the labors of the great, but you can not share the spoil
keep the right company.
