| 1 | Upon a day of great heat, a Lion and Boar came to the same watering hole to drink. |
| 2 | The Lion declared that he has right of first use as king of the beats. |
| 3 | The Boar protested that he was first. |
| 4 | Thus both were soon engaged in the agonies of mortal combat. |
| 5 | During a brief respite in which each prepared for the final match, both spotted some Vultures that had arrived. |
| 6 | The Lion then said to the Boar thus: Behold, be it one day we may be called to stand unto death upon a point of honor. |
| 7 | Alas, it be but my arrogance and your stubbornness that was sorely injured. |
| 8 | Better for us to make friends, than to become the food for Vultures. |
