The Heifer, The Goat and The Sheep in Company with The Lion

Jean de la Fontaine

Accounting, Economics, and Law: A Convivium, 2012, vol. 2, issue 2, 5

Abstract: This fable was published for the first time in 1668 in the collected "Fables" by Jean de la Fontaine (Book I, No. 6). It was inspired by a fable by Phaedrus (Book I, No. 5). From this fable comes the French proverbial expression, “la part du lion,” and its English equivalent, the “lion's share.”
