One ox complained to the second:
- Why is it, brother, that it turns out that you and I work all day long, and the owners feed us only grass and straw, but they simply feed the piglet, who never does anything, fatty rice porridge with saffron and spices?!
“Don’t envy him,” answered the second ox, “for our food, although not tasty, is simple and healthy, and gives us longevity, while the pig, which is being prepared for a quick feast, truly tastes the food of death.”
