fables 3

I am managing to get one of these done each day somehow. I don't know why the background looks so dirty and off-white.. This is "The Lion, the Tiger, and the Fox" from Aesop's Fables. I'll get to the Grimm fairytales eventally.


The Lion, the Tiger, and the Fox
A Lion and a Tiger happened to come together over the dead body of a Fawn that had been recently shot. A fierce battle ensued, and as each animal was in the prime of his age and strength, the combat was long and furious. At last they lay stretched on the ground painting, bleeding and exhausted, each unable to lift a paw against the other. An impudent Fox coming by at the time stepped in and carried off before their eyes the prey on account of which they had both fought so savagely. “Woe betide us,” said the Lion, “that we should suffer so much to serve a Fox!”

It often happens that one has the toil and another the profit.
