Chapter 158
Once when a wolf was roaming all over a farm, he came to a field of oats. But he was not able to eat the oats and thus went on his way. Soon he encountered a horse and told him to come with him into the field.
“I’ve found some splendid oats,” he said, “and I’ve not even touched a single one. In fact I’ve saved them all for you, for the very sound of your teeth is like music to my ears.”
However, the horse replied, “A fine fellow you are! If wolves were able to eat oats, I’m sure you would have indulged your belly and forgotten about the music for your ears.”
Spare gratitude to those who only give away what they don’t need.
