The Horse And The Stag
Aesop Fable: The Horse And The Stag
At one time the Horse had the plain entirely to himself.
Then a Stag intruded into his domain and shared his pasture.
The Horse, desiring to revenge himself on the stranger,
asked a man if he were willing to help him in punishing the
Stag.
The man replied that if the Horse would receive a bit
in his mouth and agree to carry him, he would contrive
effective weapons against the Stag.
The Horse consented
and allowed the man to mount him. From that hour he
found that instead of obtaining revenge on the Stag, he
had enslaved himself to the service of man.
