Aesop's Fables
AN
ASS besought a
Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed. "Yes," said the Horse; "if any remains out of what I am now
eating I will give it you for the sake of
my own superior dignity, and if you will come when I reach my own
stall in the evening, I will give you a little sack full of
barley." The Ass replied, "Thank you. But I can't think that you, who
refuse me a little matter now. will
by and by confer on me a greater benefit."
