The Lion and the Three Bulls
Three Bulls were grazing in a meadow.and were watched by a lion,who longed to capture and devour them,but who felt that he was no match for the three so long as they kept together.
So he began by false whispers and malicious hints(with the intention to cause harm) to foment (ill feeling) jealousies and distrust among them.
This stratagem (trick or device to deceive) succeeded so well there (An old preposition before) long the Bulls grew cold and unfriendly,and finally avoided each other and fed each one by himself apart.
No sooner did the Lion see this that he fell upon them one by one and killed them in turn.
