(= Alster 1997 5 Vers. A 71 = 5 Vers. B 74)Nine wolves having caught 10 sheep, there was one too many and they did not know how to share out the portions. A fox came along and said: "Let me allocate the portions for you! The nine of you take one sheep. I by myself shall take nine -- this shall be my share!" |
