You depend on your master for food, and he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you unmercifully" At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and made no attempt to molest5 the pack-ass owing to the presence of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him
