The horse and the ass
A horse and an ass were traveling together．The horse was prancing along in its beautiful trappings，but the ass was carrying the heavy weight in its saddlebags．
“I wish I were you，”sighed the ass，“You have nothing to do，and wear such a beautiful harness．”
The next day there was a great battle．The horse was badly wounded in the final charge．
The ass passed and saw the dying horse．“I was wrong，”said the ass，“Safety is much more important than beautiful clothes．”
