6. A man had a Donkey, and a Maltese Lapdog, a very great beauty.
The donkey was left in a stable and had a plenty of oats and hay to eat,
just as any other Donkey would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was
a great favorite of his master, who often fondled him and seldom went
out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Donkey,
on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in
carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often
lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and
idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and
halter, and galloped into his master’s house, kicking up his heels
without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next
tried to jump about his master as he had seen what the Lapdog did but
he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then
attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants
hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master,
quickly relieved him, and drove out the Donkey to his stable with kicks
and clubs and cuffs. The Donkey, as he returned to his stall thus
lamented: “I have brought it all on myself! Why could I have not
contented to the labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all
day like that useless little Lapdog!”
