The Horse, Hunter, And Stag
The Horse, Hunter, And Stag
A Quarrel had arisen between the Horse and the Stag, so the Horse came to
a Hunter to ask his help to take revenge on the Stag. The Hunter agreed, but
said: "If you desire to conquer the Stag, you must permit me to place this
piece of iron between your jaws, so that I may guide you with these reins, and
allow this saddle to be placed upon your back so that I may keep steady upon
you as we follow after the enemy." The Horse agreed to the conditions, and the
Hunter soon saddled and bridled him. Then with the aid of the Hunter the Horse
soon overcame the Stag, and said to the Hunter: "Now, get off, and remove
those things from my mouth and back."
"Not so fast, friend," said the Hunter. "I have now got you under bit and
spur, and prefer to keep you as you are at present."
"If You Allow Men To Use You For Your Own Purposes, They Will Use You For
Theirs."
