The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Aesop's Fables by Aesop: the voice of a nightingale in addition to his other attractions;

that he was her favourite bird, she said:
"Be content with your lot;
one cannot be first in everything."
The Fox and the Lion
When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened,
and ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time however he
came near the King of Beasts he stopped at a safe distance and
watched him pass by. The third time they came near one another
the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day
