A
MAN and a Lion traveled together through the forest. They soon began
to boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength
and prowess. As they were disputing, they passed a statue carved in
stone, which represented "a Lion strangled by a Man." The traveler
pointed to it and said: "See there! How strong we are, and how we
prevail over even the king of beasts." The Lion replied: "This
statue was made by one of you men. If we Lions knew how to erect
statues, you would see the Man placed under the paw of the Lion."
