“The Ass and the Horse” by Aesop (in English)



  An Ass besought a Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed. "Yes," said the Horse; "if any remains out of what I am now eating I will give it you for the sake of my own superior dignity, and if you will come when I reach my own stall in the evening, I will give you a little sack full of barley." The Ass replied, "Thank you.  But I can't think that you, who refuse me a little matter now.  will by and by confer on me a greater benefit."
