The Ass and the Horse
|
|
AN ASS besought a Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed. "Yes," said the Horse; "if any remains out of what I
am now eating I will give it you for the sake of my own superior dignity, and if you will come when I reach my own
stall in the evening, I will give you a little sack full of barley." The Ass replied, "Thank you. But I can't think
that you, who refuse me a little matter now. will by and by confer on me a greater benefit."
(from Aesop's Fables, translated by George Townsend)
