So the other animals skinned it and cut it into four parts. Then the Lion took his stand in front of the carcass and pronounced judgment: “The first quarter is for me in my capacity as King of Beasts; the second is mine as the judge of this kill; another share comes to me for my part in the chase; and as for the fourth quarter, well, as for that, I should like to see which of you will dare to lay a paw upon it."

The scratching of the chickens in the yard to my right are usually the reason I roll over to absorb the rising yellow sun then I try and get up when the creak of the front fly-wire door sounds but I rarely get to it in time. My master’s porch is old and tired but at least I have an old rug which is far more comfy than the rickety warped floor boards. There were four of us once and each had a role of their own. My three brothers and I would come bounding out of the kennels to greet our master, we would sit up straight to attention in a row as we had been trained to do, eagerly awaiting a morning pat of the head as reward for the coming work. I trained my brothers out in the burning paddocks running up and down after the mindless sheep and corralling them through the gates and turn-styles of the shearing sheds. My legs aren’t up to it anymore; years of service have run them through and I’m the last of my brothers left on this porch. My master was once good to us, we would ride on the back of the Ute into town and I remember tasting the scents of freshly baked bread or sizzling bacon of an early morning. Now I can barely get up off this rug these days. The only time my master comes to give me attention now is when he stands on the porch turning the succulent sausages on the barbecue after a hard day and he drops a few food scraps into my bowl, I love the burnt sausage ends. I live for those few minutes every day when I know he is next to me, when he remembers I’m on his porch because in every way I’m useless to him now.

My master’s porch is old and tired but at least I have an old rug which is far more comfy than the rickety warped floor boards. There were four of us once and each had a role of their own. My three brothers and I would come bounding out of the kennels to greet our master, we would sit up straight to attention in a row as we had been trained to do, eagerly awaiting a morning pat of the head as reward for the coming work. I trained my brothers out in the burning paddocks running up and down after the mindless sheep and corralling them through the gates and turn-styles of the shearing sheds. My legs aren’t up to it anymore; years of service have run them through and I’m the last of my brothers left on this porch. My master was once good to us, we would ride on the back of the Ute into town and I remember tasting the scents of freshly baked bread or sizzling bacon of an early morning. Now I can barely get up off this rug these days. The only time my master comes to give me attention now is when he stands on the porch turning the succulent sausages on the barbecue after a hard day and he drops a few food scraps into my bowl, I love the burnt sausage ends.
