The Lion and the Cow, the Goat and the Sheep

The Cow, the Goat and the Sheep went once a-hunting in the chase with a Lion, and they captured a Hart. And when they came to have their part and share in it, the Lion said to them; "My lords, I let you know that the first part is mine, because I am your lord; the second because I am stronger than you; the third because I ran more swift than you did; and whosoever touches the fourth part, he shall be my mortal enemy!" And thus the Lion took for himself alone the Hart.
