A tunny-fish was chased by a dolphin through the water at great speed. The dolphin gradually gained ground and was about to catch the tunny when the force of its flight hurled it onto a sandbank. In the heat of the chase, the dolphin followed, and both found themselves stranded out of the water, gasping for life. Seeing his enemy doomed just like himself, the tunny said, "I don't mind dying now, for I see that the one who caused my death is about to share the same fate."
