A lion and a bear seized a goat at the same moment and fought fiercely for it. After a while, the two laid down, tired from the battle, as the goat stood in the middle without a scratch.

Seeing this, the lion and bear sighed, “what a pity that we did all that fighting to give a fox a free dinner.”
