COUNTER/Weight 29: Three Conversations

A Lion and a Man chanced to travel in company through the forest. They soon began to quarrel, for each of them boasted that he and his kind were far superior to the other both in strength and mind.   Now they reached a clearing in the forest and there stood a statue. It was a representation of Heracles in the act of tearing the jaws of the Nemean Lion.   "See," said the man, "that's how strong we are! The King of Beasts is like wax in our hands!"   "Ho!" laughed the Lion, "a Man made that statue."   --The Man & The Lion, from "The Aesop for Children: with Pictures by Milo Winter"    Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Keith J Carberry (@KeithJCarberry), Jack de Quidt (@notquitereal), Ali Acampora (@ali_west), and Art Tebbel (@atebbel)   Produced by Ali Acampora Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot) Intro Music by Jack de Quidt   A transcription is available for this episode here.A full list of completed transcriptions is available here.
