55 Of a Lyon which begged of the Wolfe parte of hys pray.

THe Wolfe and the Foxe entered felowship, and went a hunting, to whom, as they were deuiding the Hart which they had taken, the Li∣on came by chaunce, & chalenged the third parte of the pray, bycause he was king of foure footed beastes: but the Wolfe denied it: then the Ly∣on béeing angry, layde holde on the wolfe with his clawes, and plucked the skin cleane from his head, and made it redde, wherby the wolfe esca∣ped scarse with his life. After the Lion turned to the Foxe, and sayde: What sayest thou? For∣sooth my lorde the king (quod he) I graunt not only the third part, but also the whole Hart vn∣to you: What (quod the Lion) hathe any body taught thee to answere so wisely: Yea sir (sayd the Foxe) the redde hatte which you put on my fellow the Wolfe hath taught me.
