A troublesome crow perched on the back of a sheep. The sheep, much against his will, carried her back and forth for a long time. At last, the sheep said, "If you had treated a dog this way, you would have received your due reward from his sharp teeth."
To this, the crow replied, "I despise the weak and yield to the strong. I know whom I may bully and whom I must flatter; and thus I prolong my life to a good old age."
