One ox became so proud of his strength that he always secluded himself and grazed outside the herd. He considered it beneath his dignity to be friends with other oxen who were smaller and weaker than him.
One day, having retired as usual, he saw a lion. This lion knew that the ox had no friends or defenders, that neither the owner nor the other oxen would stand up for him. And he boldly approached the proud man, hit him with his paw and killed him. And there was no one who would stand up for the arrogant ox.
Arrogant people who neglect their comrades are very similar to this ox. They may suffer the same fate.
