The boar and the horse shared the same pasture. As the boar was forever spoiling the grass and muddying the water, the horse, wanting to be revenged on him, called on the help of a hunter. But the hunter having declared that he could lend a hand only if the horse consented to take a bit and let him ride on his back, the horse submitted to all his demands. Then the hunter, mounted on his back, put the boar out of action, and, leading the horse home, tied him to the manger.
So many people, wanting, under the stroke of blind anger, to be revenged on their enemies, throw themselves under another's yoke.Moral
