During a severe plague among the animals, the Lion calls a council to find a solution, believing the plague is a punishment for their sins. Each animal confesses their sins, with the powerful predators excusing themselves, glorified by their actions. When the humble Ass confesses to eating a bit of grass from a priest's field, the animals condemn him as the most guilty. They quickly sacrifice him, believing it will appease the gods and end the plague, without remorse or ceremony.
