There was once a lazy lion. He was not good at hunting. One day, he had an idea. He called the animals of the forest and said, “I’m forming a royal hunting team. Only the experts can join me. Any volunteers?” A jackal and a wolf stepped forward. The lion said, “You will hunt with me wherever I go.” The next day, the lion, the jackal and the wolf went hunting and killed a stag. The lion said, “Let me divide the stag’s body into three parts.” He cut the stag into three pieces. Then he took the first piece and said, “This is for me, as I’m the king.” Then he took the second piece and said, “This is for me, as I went hunting.” Then he took the third piece and said, “Either of you can take this if you dare.” The jackal and the wolf went hungry.
