The Horse and the Ass
An ass and a rude horse were travelling together.The horse carried little beyond his own ability.While the poor laden best beside him did struggle,so overburdened that he finally faltered.
He pleaded with the horse to show him some pity,else he would die before reaching the city.
"My request after all is not impolite.Half of this load you would still find light."said the ass.
The horse refused thinking himself clever,but soon saw his com-rade fall down forever.He realized quickly he had been mistaken,for soon he was carrying the whole of the burden.
参考译文：
马和驴子
驴子和马一同赶路。马驮载的远不及他所能承受的重量。然而，他身旁负重的'驴子却驮着重物硬撑着。终于，驴子因为负担过重踉跄起来。
他恳求马可怜可怜他，不然还没到城里他就会累死的。
驴子说：“我的要求并非无理，再驮上一半的重物你也不会觉得重的。”
马自作聪明没有同意，可是很快他就看到他的同伴永远地倒下去了。他立刻意识到自己犯了个错误,因为他就要驮所有的重物了。
