The Lion and the Bull

A Li­on saw a fine fat Bull pas­tur­ing among a herd of cattle and cast about for some means of get­ting him in­to his clutches; so he sent him word that he was sac­ri­fi­cing a sheep, and asked if he would do him the hon­our of din­ing with him. The Bull ac­cep­ted the in­vit­a­tion, but, on ar­riv­ing at the Li­on’s den, he saw a great ar­ray of sauce­pans and spits, but no sign of a sheep; so he turned on his heel and walked quietly away. The Li­on called after him in an in­jured tone to ask the reas­on, and the Bull turned round and said, “I have reas­on enough. When I saw all your pre­par­a­tions it struck me at once that the vic­tim was to be a Bull and not a sheep.”

The net is spread in vain in sight of the bird.
