ABSTRACT

This is about the Beasts of the Forest. The Lion was killing and eating them so fast that one day they said " Look here, the Lion will soon annihilate us, let us take counsel to see what we can do to save ourselves." So they all assembled, and went to the Lion, and said "O Great One, Elder Brother of the Forest, we have something to ask you," and they continued "We will bring you one of our number every morning to eat if you will leave the rest of us alive." Then the Lion said "Very well,"and they went off.
