A gentle retelling for listeners ages 3–5 of Aesop’s fable from The Aesop for Children (1919): the Lion, the Fox, the Jackal, and the Wolf agree to share whatever they hunt, but when the Wolf catches a Stag, the Lion divides it into four parts and takes three for himself.

Long ago, four animals made a deal: the Lion, the Fox, the Jackal, and the Wolf. The Jackal was a kind of wild dog, with big pointy ears.
“Let’s all go hunting together,” they said. “Whatever we find, we will share with each other.” “Yes!” they all agreed. Share and share alike!
