Today is: Lion s Share Day
Staff reports
On Lion s Share Day, it s perfectly okay to try to take more than your share of something. A lion s share is an idiom meaning the largest part of something divided amongst other people. The expression comes from one of Aesop s fables, where a lion asks animals to help him hunt, and then afterwards tells them reasons why he should get to keep all parts of the spoils.
In one tale, a lion goes hunting with a fox, a jackal, and a wolf. They kill a male deer and must make a decision on how to divide it.
