THE BEAST AND ITS BURDEN

' No one could be in greater distress than I,' wailed a man
in the desert. He had been left behind by the caravan.

'What misfortune!' he cried. 'This is the end.'

'Be quiet,' said a donkey, passing with it's owner on it's back.
'If you have no beast to ride, at least you can be grateful that
you're not a beast that's ridden upon!'
