The ox, having run away from the lion, hid in a cave. But there were wild goats there, and they began to stab him with their horns.
“Well, we’ll have to be patient,” said the ox. “After all, it’s not goat horns that scare me, but lion fangs.”
It often happens in life that the powerful of this world, fearing those who are stronger than them, are forced to patiently endure the suffering inflicted on them by very weak creatures.
