He said with a roar, "What do you mean, Friend Donkey, by taking so much for your share?"
"I have divided the wolf into three equal parts," said the donkey. "If you do not like the way I have divided the animal, you need not take any."
At this the lion was furious.
Springing upon the poor donkey, he killed him instantly.
Then the lion turned to the fox.
"There are only two of us now," said the lion. "Let me see how you will divide the animal."
The fox bowed low before King Lion.
He took one very small piece of meat for himself.
Then he put all the rest of the animal in a heap for the lion.
The lion watched greedily to see what the fox would do next.
