The Lion and the Man Disputing

A man and a lion were arguing. The man proclaimed the superiority of the human race, while the lion argued on behalf of his own kind. As they were contending with one another as to who was superior, the man produced as evidence the statue of a lion being defeated by a man. The lion retorted, 'And if there were also sculptors among us lions, you would see more people being conquered by lions than lions by people!'
