A LION and a Boar, who were fighting for water at a pool, saw some
vultures hovering¹ significantly above them.  "Let us make up our
quarrel," said the Boar, "or these fellows will get one of us,
sure."

  "I should not so much mind that," replied the Lion, "if they would
get the right one.  However, I am willing to stop fighting, and
then perhaps I can grab a vulture.  I like chicken better than
pork, anyhow."
