The wild donkey looked down on his domestic brother and scolded him in every possible way for the forced lifestyle that he led.
“I am the son of freedom,” he boasted, “I wander the mountains all day and eat an endless amount of fresh green shoots.” I get my food without difficulty, I don’t know fatigue. You are rewarded with beatings all day long.
As soon as he finished speaking, out of nowhere - a lion. The predator did not approach the domestic donkey, since its owner was standing nearby, and he tore the wild donkey to pieces on the spot.
The moral of this fable is clear: do not be arrogant and careless, and if you are rich and noble, do not reproach or insult the poor.
