The Lion，the Robber and the Traveller
While a lion was standing 1 over a bullock，which he had brought down to the ground，a robber came up，and demanded a share．“I would give it to you，”said the lion，“were you not in the habit of taking without leave”；and so he repulsed 2 the rogue 3．By chance，a harmless traveller came to the same spot，and on seeing the wild beast，retraced his steps；on which the lion kindly 4 said to him：“You have nothing to fear；boldly take the share which is due to your modesty 5．”Then having divided the car case，he sought the woods to make room for the man．Exercises：
