The Playful Ass

: Aesop's Fables

AN ASS climbed up to the roof of a building, and frisking about

there, broke in the tiling. The owner went up after him and

quickly drove him down, beating him severely with a thick wooden

cudgel. The Ass said, "Why, I saw the Monkey do this very thing

yesterday, and you all laughed heartily, as if it afforded you

very great amusement."
