The Owl and the Ass
by Jinhua RenWe all know how well Owls see at night. Hills, hillocks, ditched, precipices----all these our Owl distinguished as if it had been daylight, and, by daybreak, it had made its way with the Ass to the level road. Now, how could any one part with such a guide? So the Ass entreated the Owl not to desert it, and determined to visit the whole world in the Owl's company. Our Owl seated itself like a lord on the back of the Ass, and the two friends began to continue their journey.
But did it prosper ? No. The sun had scarcely begun to glow in the morning sky, when a greater than nocturnal darkness hid everything from the Owl's eyes. But our Owl is obstinate; it directs the Ass at random.
"Take care!" it cries. "We shall tumble into a pool, if we go to the right."There was really no pool on the right; but on the left there was even worse."Keep more to the left----another pace to the left!"And,the Owl and the Ass fell into the ravine together.
