The Lion and the Statue A Man and a Lion were discussing who was the stronger, Humans, or Lions. The Man claimed that Humans were stronger than lions because of their greater intelligence. "Come with me," he said, "and I will prove that I’m right." So, he took Lion into the public gardens and showed him a statue of Hercules overcoming a Lion with his great strength. "This proves nothing," said the Lion, "a man made this statue to glorify humans. If a lion could make statues, then he would make one of a lion doing… THIS!" And the Lion ate the man up. And, the moral is… Beware of representing things as we wish them to be and not as they actually are.
