M159. The lion's share, ATU 51. .11.-.17.23.27.-.33.

The strongest character (usually a lion) suggests dividing the loot (harvest). The one who is more cunning gives up his share, but remains intact. Usually a wolf (hyena, jackal) divides, giving most of it to the lion, but the lion hits him. The third character gives everything to the lion. The lion asks who taught him how to divide so well, and gets the answer: the one who was maimed by the lion.
