The Man and the Lion

A man and a lion traveled together through the forest. As they walked, they began to boast about their respective strengths and prowess. The conversation soon turned into a heated dispute over who was superior.

While they were arguing, they came across a statue carved in stone that depicted "a lion strangled by a man." The traveler pointed to the statue and proclaimed, "Look! How strong we are, and how we prevail even over the king of beasts."

The lion, unfazed, replied, "This statue was created by one of you men. If we lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the man placed under the paw of the lion."

This story serves as a reminder that one perspective may seem compelling until another story is told.
