The fox used to point out the prey, and the lion would attack and seize it. The fox, however, soon became jealous of the lion for carrying off the lion’s (larger) share. Thinking that he was just as good as his master, the fox declared that he would no longer simply discover the prey but capture it on his own. The next day, just as he was about to snatch a lamb from the fold, the hunter and his hounds appeared and made him their prize for the day.
