A witty story

One day, nine wild dogs went out for food and met a lion on the way. With regard to the fable of quick wits, the lion said that it was also hunting, indicating that wild dogs could hunt together in order to find more food. The wild dogs all agreed. At the end of the day, they captured 10 antelope in a * * *.

The lion said, we must find a clever man to distribute dinner for us. A dog said, why should I divide it? Aren't we all * *10? The captured antelope is 10, so one by one, just right! Hearing this, the lion immediately stood up, raised his paws and patted the wild dog. Faced with the sudden movement of the lion, it was scared to stay there. Other wild dogs are also afraid.

A wild dog bravely said to the lion, no, no, no, our brother is wrong. This Sino-Thai is not reasonable at all. The lion is the king of the world's forests. If we give you 9 antelopes, then you and the antelopes add up to 10. Our 9 dogs plus 1 antelope is 10, so we are all 10. This is a fair distribution plan.

The lion is very satisfied. He plausibly said, you are smart, unlike your stupid brother! How did you come up with this distribution method? The wild dog replied: When you rushed in front of my brother and startled us, the idea immediately came to my mind. He knelt down like a lion.
