a bull, escaping from a lion, hid in a cave which some shepherds had recently occupied. as soon as he entered, a he-goat left in the cave sharply attacked him with his horns. the bull quietly addressed him: “butt away as much as you will. i have no fear of you, but of the lion. let that monster go away and i will soon let you know what is the respective strength of a goat and a bull.”

it shows an evil disposition to take advantage of a friend in distress.
