Just as a great Bear rushed to seize a stray kid, a Lion leaped from another direction upon the same prey. They had no sooner started out again than a loud shout went up from another company of people on the road. Becoming thirsty on the way, he filled his horn at a spring, and was about to drink. Was he as big as this? Go along with you, you stupid Ass, he cried. The Rabbit was quite angry for a Rabbit, and requested the Weasel to move out. But his plans were very much changed when he met a Lion, who, without making any excuses, took the Lamb away from him. Still he kept up a flow of sarcastic talk, just to exercise his wits and to have the fun of disputing. This answer took the Dolphin by surprise, and, turning his head, he now saw what it was he was carrying. Without more ado, he dived and left the foolish Monkey to take care of himself, while he swam off in search of some human being to save.
Good will is worth nothing unless it is accompanied by good acts.
