Fable 200 - The Lion, the Bear, and the Fox

A lion and a bear, having found the carcass of a faun, were battling over who should have it. They mauled each other so badly
that they lost consciousness and lay half-dead. A fox, who happened to pass by and saw them lying there, unable to move,
with the faun between them, ran into their midst, grabbed the carcass and escaped with it.
The lion and the bear, unable to get up because of the bad state they were in, murmured to each other:
‘What fools we are! We’ve gone to all this trouble just for a fox!’

This fable shows that people have good reason to be annoyed when they see the results of their hard work carried off by chance.
