The Four Oxen and the Lion- Literature

I strongly believe that the maxim of this short story is if you go your separate way because of a dispute among others, it can lead to grieve danger and consequences. In other words, you should stay together with others because its the time when you are most protected from danger or harm. In addition, some people may think that they will survive on their own, when the truth is, those people desperately need friends and organisms to support/help them.
