The Lion wanted for himself a Ring of great power. The
Council of the Ring, the wisest folk in all the world,
warned him that such a Ring could only bring bad things,
and gave it to the Mouse for safe keeping. The Mouse
carried the Ring faithfully as the Council advised,
and would not give it to the Lion. But one day the Lion
could restrain himself no longer, and tried to snatch
the Ring from the Mouse. The Mouse escaped with the
Ring, but the Lion was shot to death by Orc arrows immediately
after.
He is wise that heeds the counsel of those wiser than
himself.
