There was an Ass who once congratulated a Horse on being so caring and carefully provided for whatever he needs. While he himself had hardly enough to eat and not even that without hard work.
But when war broke out, a heavily armed soldier ascended the Horse, and riding him to the charge, rushed into the very center of the enemy.
The Horse was wounded and fell dead on the
battlefield. Then the Ass, seeing all these
things, changed his mind, and misfortune the
Horse.
