The Four Oxen and the Lion

Chances are you have heard of this tale from the ageless and timeless wisdom of Aesop and his Fables. Lest we forget, let's remember that without concerted effort, it could be our heads ending up cracked instead of the wall. Think about it, won't you?

A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they fell a-quarrelling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all four.

United we stand, divided we fall.
