Serving some peasant, once a dog and a horse started wrangling.
“As if you were a lord! – said the Dog,
– In my opinion, I would not get upset, even if you got the sack.
Big deal – to carry or to plow! As well known you are not renowned
for any other deeds. How can you be equal in anything with me?
Neither day nor night I know any peace of mind: in the daytime
I am to keep a control of the herd in the meadow,
and at night to guard the house”.
– “Of course, – replied the Horse,
– You’re right; however, if I had not plowed, there would have been nothing for you here to guard”.
