Explore "The Lion and the Boar" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A Lion and a Boar, who were fighting for water at a pool, saw some vultures hovering significantly above them. "Let us make up our quarrel," said the Boar, "or these fellows will get one of us, sure."
"I should not so much mind that," replied the Lion, "if they would get the right one. However, I am willing to stop fighting, and then perhaps
I can grab a vulture. I like chicken better than pork, anyhow."
