The Ass and His Shadow

一网宝 分享 时间: 加入收藏 我要投稿 点赞

  AN ASS1 once carried through the streets of a city a famous wooden

  Image, to be placed in one of its Temples. As he passed along,

  the crowd made lowly prostration2 before the Image. The Ass,

  thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect for

  himself, bristled3 up with pride, gave himself airs, and refused

  to move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid his

  whip lustily about his shoulders and said, "O you perverse

  dull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to an

  Ass."

  They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to

  others.
