<h2>THE PLOUGHMAN, THE ASS, AND THE OX</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Ploughman yoked his Ox and his Ass together, and set to work
to plough his field. It was a poor makeshift of a team, but it was
the best he could do, as he had but a single Ox. At the end of the
day, when the beasts were loosed from the yoke, the Ass said to the
Ox, "Well, we've had a hard day: which of us is to carry the master
home?" The Ox looked surprised at the question. "Why," said he,
"you, to be sure, as usual."</p>
