Once, a man owned an ass and a dog. One day, the man was returning from the town with his animals. The ass was carrying many sacks on his back. All the three were tired and hungry. After some time, they stopped at a meadow to rest. The man lay down under a tree and fell asleep. The ass started eating grass. The dog said to the ass, “Please bend down a little. I want to take some food from the bag on your back, for I am very hungry.” The ass said, “Let our master wake up. He will give you food.” The dog quietly lay down. Suddenly, a wolf came to the meadow. He pounced on the ass. The ass shouted, “Friend dog, please help me!” The dog said to him, “Let our master wake up. Then I will save you.”
