At length a dispute happening to arise upen the question of superiority between their re spective races, the former, in the absence of a better argument, pointed to a monument on which was sculptured in marble the statue of a man stri ding over the body of a vanquished lion. If this, said the lion, is all you have to say, let us be the sculptors, and you will see the lion striding over the man.
