AN ASS1 besought2 a Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed.
"Yes," said the Horse; "if any remains3 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 barley4." 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."
