Aesop's fables - the sick lion
The Sick Lion
       The sick Lion

    A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick towards death at the mouth of his cave and gasping for breath. The animals, his subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and more helpless. When they saw him on the point of death they thought to themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old grudges." So the Boar came up and drove at him with his teeth, after that a Bull gored him with his horns. Still the Lion lay helpless before them. At that time the Ass, feeling quite safe from the danger of the old Lion, came up and turning his tail to the Lion kicked up his heels into Lion’s face. "This is a double death for me," growled the Lion.



The moral of the story:

          Only cowards insult dying majesty.
