326. The Lion And The Boar
Once upon a time, when Brahmadatta was king of Benares, the Bodhisatta was a Lion who lived in a mountain cave in the Himalayas. Nearby lived a multitude of Boars by lakeside; and beside the same lake lived a company of anchorites in huts made of leaves and the branches of trees.
One day it so happened that the Lion had brought down a beast; after eating he went down to drink water at this lake. Just as he came out, a sturdy Boar happened to be drinking water.
