The Horse had the plain entirely to himself. 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 man replied, that if the Horse
would receive a bit in his mouth, and agree to carry him, he would
contrive very effectual 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.
