Read:
A shepherd calmly watched his ass grazing in a green prairie.
Suddenly he heard the screams of the approaching enemy in the distance.
He pleaded with the animal to run with him on the back as fast as he could so that they were not both captured. The ass calmly said:
"Why should I fear the enemy?" Do you think it likely that the conqueror will put in me, in addition to the two baskets I carry, another two?
"No," replied the pastor.
"So," said the animal, "as long as I carry the two baskets I already have, what difference does it make who I'm serving?"
By changing the ruler, to the poor, nothing changes but the name of his new master.
