<h2>THE FLY AND THE DRAUGHT-MULE</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Fly sat on one of the shafts of a cart and said to the Mule
who was pulling it, "How slow you are! Do mend your pace, or I
shall have to use my sting as a goad." The Mule was not in the
least disturbed. "Behind me, in the cart," said he, "sits my
master. He holds the reins, and flicks me with his whip, and him I
obey, but I don't want any of your impertinence. _I_ know when I
may dawdle and when I may not."</p>
