Lion, Fox and Wolf once went hunting together. They got a donkey, a gazelle and a hare. When they sat down to divide the spoils, the Lion said to the Wolf:
- Take it and divide it between us. Then the Wolf says:
- Let's divide the spoils so that everyone gets a share equal in size to himself. The lion will get the donkey, the hare - the Fox, and the gazelle - me.
The Wolf said and placed the donkey carcass in front of the Lion. But the king of beasts did not like this division, he became furious, hit the Wolf with his paw and broke his back.
- Now share! - Lev turned to the Fox.
- I obey, my lord! - answered the cunning Fox and placed all the spoils in front of the Lion.
- You will eat a hare for breakfast, a gazelle for lunch, and a donkey for dinner.
Leo liked this division. He looked at Lisa and said:
-Who taught you to divide the spoils so wisely?
“A broken wolf spine,” answered the Fox.
