189. The Horse And The Stag

The Horse had the plain entirely to h
imself. A Stag intruded into his domain, and shared his pasture. The Horse desiring to revenge himself on the stranger, requested a man, if he were willing, to help him in punishing the Stag. The m
an replied that, if the Horse would receive a bit in his mouth, and agree to carry him, he would contrive effectual weapons against the Stag. The Horse consented, and allowed the man to mount him. From that hour he f
ound that, instead of obtaining revenge on the Stag, he had enslaved himself to the service of man.
189. 马和鹿
有一匹马,自己占据着一片大草原。 一只鹿闯入他的领域,分享它的牧草。 马想对这陌生的鹿报复,于是向人类请求,问他可愿意帮助它去惩罚这只鹿。 这个人回答说,如果马肯承受一块马口铁,含在它的嘴里,又答应载他,他可以想出很有效果的武器,帮助它去抵抗鹿。 马同意了,允许这个人骑到它身上。 从此以后,马才明白,对于鹿还不曾报复之前,自己已经成为人们的奴隶了。
