NAME:
They lived in the same yard. The goat was jealous because the ass was given more food. Pretending to be worried, she said:
– What a life of yours! When he's not at the mill, he's carrying a burden. Do you want an advice? Feign discomfort and fall into a hole.
The ass agreed, but when he threw himself into the hole, he broke a bunch of bones. The owner sought help.
"If you give him a good goat lung tea, he'll be fine soon," the vet said.
The goat was sacrificed and the ass healed.
Moral: Those who conspire against others end up doing harm to themselves.
