The Two Men Who Were Enemies
Aesop Fable: The Two Men Who Were Enemies
Two men, deadly enemies to each other, were sailing in the
same vessel. Determined to keep as far apart as possible,
the one seated himself in the stem, and the other in the
prow of the ship.
A violent storm arose, and with the vessel
in great danger of sinking, the one in the stern inquired
of the pilot which of the two ends of the ship would go
down first.
On his replying that he supposed it would be
the prow, the Man said, "Death would not be grievous to
me, if I could only see my Enemy die before me."
