      The Ass and His Driver 
    
    
      AN ASS, being driven along a high road, suddenly started off and
    bolted to the brink of a deep precipice.  While he was in the act
    of throwing himself over, his owner seized him by the tail,
    endeavoring to pull him back.  When the Ass persisted in his
    effort, the man let him go and said, "Conquer, but conquer to
    your cost."
