Abstract

Sometimes this fable works on the basis that the two contenders for some spoil (here the lion and bear for a dead fawn wounded by a hunter who did not follow it) become so exhausted that a third can take it as they lie and watch. In this version, I think the story works rather by getting the two so distracted in the fight into which they have worked themselves that the fox can snatch -the fawn while they are unaware. Two dogs fight over a bone and a third runs away with it.
