Stag was chased by the hounds, and took refuge in a cave, where he hoped to be safe from his pursuers.
      
      Unfortunately the cave contained a Lion, to whom he fell an easy prey.
      
      "Unhappy that I am," he cried, "I am saved from the power of the dogs only to fall into the clutches of a Lion."
