• The Horse and the Ass Jul 15, 2025

  

  A merchant owned both a fine horse and a humble donkey. The horse was sleek and well-fed, prancing proudly with only a light saddle on his back. The donkey, however, was loaded down with heavy sacks of grain and merchandise, struggling under the enormous weight.

  As they traveled along the dusty road to market, the poor donkey began to lag behind, panting heavily under his crushing load.
