one day a great lion,feeling very hungry after many hours of fruitless hunting,decided to try and find a meal at a farm.he padded over towards the yard and there,as he expected,was a find plump ass,foolishly munching and crunching at a briar.
the lion thought the ass would make an admirable meal,but perched on a nearby stile was a rangy old cock and they say that there is nothing a lion hates so much as the crowing of a cock.the lion paused,then he took a step towards the ass, but at that moment the cock began to crow.the offended lion turned about and bounded off with all possible haste until he could no longer hear the awful noise.
the ass had idly watched these events and was highly amused at the thought of a lion being frightened by a cock,so he plucked up his courage and galloped after him,delighted to think that he,a mere ass,was chasing the king of the jungle.
however,the ass had not followed for long when the lion turned sharply round upon him.the unfortunate ass never had time to think about his error,and the lion was no longer hungry.
