"The Leopard and the Three Bulls"

     A hungry leopard once watched a field where three powerful bulls were grazing.  The hungry leopard knew his hunting chances would improve if he could get each of the bulls alone.  However, the bulls enjoyed each others company so much that no matter which end of the field one was, the others were not far away. 

   The hungry leopard the began to spread rumors among the field about each of the bulls.  Soon the bulls distrust and jealousy became so great that they drifted apart from each other.  Seeing his opportunity, the leopard hunted down each bull individually and made easy prey out of each of them.
