Perry's Index to the Aesopica
Fables exist in many versions; here is one version in English:
THE BEAR, THE LION AND THE FOX GO HUNTING
The bear, the lion, and the fox went hunting together. While the lion and the
bear tracked down their prey by their own efforts, the fox instead found a camel
who had been tied to a post. She then went and told her companions that this
was something they could catch. |

in the Aesopic fable tradition. Invaluable.
