A man and a lion were discussing the relative strength of menand lions in general. The man contended1 that he and his fellowswere stronger than lions by reason of their greater intelligence. "Come now with me," He cried, "And I will soon prove that I amright." So he took him into the public gardens and showed him astatue of hercules overcoming the lion and tearing his mouth intwo. "That is all very well," Said the lion, "But proves nothing,for it was a man who made the statue."
