________________________________________________
Title: The Lion And The Ass Author: Aesop (author of Aesop's Fables) [More Titles by Aesop (author of Aesop's Fables)] A Lion and an Ass made an agreement to go out hunting together. By-and-by they came to a cave, where wild goats abode. The Lion took up his station at the mouth of the cave, and the Ass, going within, kicked and brayed, and made a mighty fuss to frighten them out. When the Lion had caught them, the Ass came out and asked him if he had not made a noble fight. "Yes, indeed," said the Lion; "and I assure you, you would have frightened me too, if I had not known you to be an Ass." [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
