A lion and a bear seized a kid at the same moment, and foughtfiercely for its possession. When they had fearfully laceratedeach other and were faint from the long combat, they lay downexhausted with fatigue1. A fox, who had gone round them at adistance several times, saw them both stretched on the groundwith the kid lying untouched in the middle. He ran in betweenthem, and seizing the kid scampered2 off as fast as he could. Thelion and the bear saw him, but not being able to get up, said,"Woe be to us, that we should have fought and belabored3 ourselvesonly to serve the turn of a fox." 
It sometimes happens that one man has all the toil4, and another all the profit.
