The Ass & His Driver
An
Ass was being driven along a road leading down the mountain side, when he
suddenly took it into his silly head to choose his own path. He could see his
stall at the foot of the mountain, and to him the quickest way down seemed to
be over the edge of the nearest cliff. Just as he was about to leap over, his
master caught him by the tail and tried to pull him back, but the stubborn Ass
would not yield and pulled with all his might.
"Very
well," said his master, "go your way, you willful beast, and see
where it leads you."
With
that he let go, and the foolish Ass tumbled head over heels down the mountain
side.
They
who will not listen to reason but stubbornly go their own way against the
friendly advice of those who are wiser than they, are on the road to
misfortune.
