It happened many years ago. An old man sat under a big tree. His horse was near the tree. It ate green grass. Suddenly the old man saw two armed men who hid in the bushes. The old man jumped up and asked his horse to fly with him as fast as he could. "Or else," he said, "the enemy will catch us." But the horse looked lazily at his master and asked "Do you think they will make me carry heavier things then I have to now?" "No," said the master. "Then I don't mind," answered the horse. "My life will not be worse."
