a bear and a lion

One upon a time a lion and a bear caught and killed a goat. They had a quarrel over it.

“It is mine,” said the bear. “I caught it with my strong paws.”

“It is not yours. It is mine,” said the lion. “I killed it with my strong jaws.”

Then they began to fight over it. They ran up and down the hill, under and over the fallen trees, in and out of the forest. They bit and scratched with their strength, but no one could overcome the other.

At last they both were tired out and could fight no longer. They lay upon the ground, panting and looking at each other.

A fox who was passing by at the time saw them with a dead goat near by. She ran up to them, took the goat home and ate it up.
