    A man and lion traveling together began boasting about the superiority of their species. Upon reaching a clearing with a statue of Heracles overpowering a lion, the man claimed it showed how strong humans are. However, the lion argued that if a lion had made the statue, it would tell a different story of their encounter. The moral is that perspective depends on who tells the story, so one should rely on their own judgment.

    The Man and the Lion

    A Lion and a Man chanced to travel in a company through the forest. They soon
    began to quarrel, for each of them boasted that he and his kind were far superior to the
    other both in strength and mind.

    Now they reached a clearing in the forest and there stood a statue. It was a
    representation of Heracles in the act of tearing the jaws of the Nemean Lion.

    “See,” said the man, “that’s how strong we are! The King of Beasts is like wax in our
    hands!”

    “Ho!” laughed the Lion, “a Man made that statue. It would have been quite a different
    scene had a Lion made it!”

    Moral: It all depends on the point of view, and who tells the story. Always trust your
    own wit and try judge the circumstances.
