The Lion, The Ass, and The Fox made a contract to hunt together. When they had caught a good supply of game, they came to eat it, and the Lion order the Ass to divide the spoils. So the Ass divided it into three equal parts, and called on each to choose his portion. At that the Lion fell into a rage, and made his supper off the Ass.

Then the Lion told the Fox to divide it, and he put almost all the game into one great heap for the Lion, and saved only a small pit for himself. Then the Lion said:

"My good fellow, who taught you to divide so well?" 

And the Fox said: "That dead Ass there."
