It was a hot day. Lion and Goat were both thirsty, but the pool was small. Goat bent down his head to drink when Lion came up beside him and shouted angrily, “I shall drink first. I’m King of all the animals. Get out of my way!”
“No,” said Goat. “I shall drink first. I found the water. You can wait till I have finished.”
“You will drink it all up, ” said Lion. “There is not very much left, and I’m nearly dead with thirst.”
“And I haven’t had a drop all day, ” answered Goat.
So they quarreled. Lion chased（追赶）Goat to the top of a small hill. Neither of them was able to drink.
Suddenly Lion stopped chasing Goat and looked up into the hot blue sky. Goat looked, too. There, circling（盘旋）slowly above them, was Vulture. All the animals knew and was afraid of him. He is Bird of Death, who waits to jump on the bodies of dead animals and eat their flesh（肉）. Lion and Goat knew, both at once, that if they did not stop fighting, they would die of thirst, and Vulture would eat them.
“If we go on quarrelling, ”said Lion, “We shall both die of thirst, and that will be the end of us. Go to the water and drink, but don’t drink it all.”
Goat did as he was told, and the two animals quenched（解，止）their thirst instead of fighting.
