The Horse, Hunter and Stag
    
    
      A quarrel had arisen between the Horse and the Stag, so the
    Horse came to a Hunter to ask his help to take revenge on the
    Stag.  The Hunter agreed, but said: "If you desire to conquer the
    Stag, you must permit me to place this piece of iron between your
    jaws, so that I may guide you with these reins, and allow this
    saddle to be placed upon your back so that I may keep steady upon
    you as we follow after the enemy."  The Horse agreed to the
    conditions, and the Hunter soon saddled and bridled him.  Then
    with the aid of the Hunter the Horse soon overcame the Stag, and
    said to the Hunter: "Now, get off, and remove those things from my
    mouth and back."
    
      "Not so fast, friend," said the Hunter.  "I have now got you
    under bit and spur, and prefer to keep you as you are at present."
    
    
    	If you allow men to use you for your own purposes,
    	they will use you for theirs.
