The Donkey And The Charger
Aesop Fable: The Donkey And The Charger
An Donkey congratulated a Horse on being so ungrudgingly
and carefully provided for, while he himself had scarcely
enough to eat and not even that without hard work. But
when war broke out, a heavily armed soldier mounted the
Horse, and riding him to the charge, rushed into the very
midst of the enemy.
The Horse was wounded and fell dead
on the battlefield. Then the Donkey, seeing all these things,
changed his mind, and commiserated the Horse.
