The Wolf and The Lion



A wolf, roaming by the mountain's side, saw his own shadow, as the sun was setting, become greatly extended and magnified, and he said to himself, “Why should I being of such an immense size, and extending nearly an acre in length, be afraid of the lion? Ought I not to be acknowledged as King of all the collected beasts?” While he was indulging in these proud thoughts, a lion fell upon him, and killed him_ He exclaimed with a too late repentance, “Wretched me! This over estimation of myself is the cause of my destruction.”
