-There was a farmer who had a horse who was loyal and hardworking
-Sadly, he was becoming to old so the farmer starved him so that he would leave
-The farmer didn't want the horse to come back until he was stronger than a lion
-The horse was sad and wandered into a forest and came across a fox
-The fox asked the horse what was wrong
-The horse replied and said that after everything he had done for the farmer, it meant nothing now that he was old
-The fox offered to help him
-They tricked a lion into being tied up and dragged back to the farmer, proving that he was able to get "the better of him"
-Therefore, the farmer let the horse stay in the stable and eat until he died
