When the master tells the mule to keep working, if he doesn’t want to risk the lashes, the sheep in the pen remain watching; And if the mules try to protest, the sheep crush them in the dung, while the butchers begin to cut their throats; But when the sheep look at the master thinking to be praised, they are still roasted and eaten.

The sheep and the mule
When the master tells the mule to keep working, if he doesn’t want to risk the lashes, the sheep in the pen remain watching; And if the mules try to protest, the sheep crush them in the dung, while the butchers begin to cut their throats; But when the sheep look at the master thinking to be praised, they are still roasted and eaten.
