However the heart fell to the ground, and the Fox took him on the sly, as payment for their efforts. And the lion looking for the missing heart asked the Fox by it. The Fox replied:

The lion, considering that his plan was working, approached one of the bulls and said in his ear:
-What are you doing in the company of those two? From afar it shows that your race is superior...
Then, stealth, he convinced the second that his friends took advantage of the best of the field and condemning it to eat a very poor pasture.
-Did say it to my friends? -asked the third.
