AN ASS, belonging to an herb-seller who gave him too little food
and too much work made a petition to Jupiter to be released from
his present service and provided with another master.
Jupiter,
after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him to
be sold to a tile-maker.
Shortly afterwards, finding that he had
heavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, he
petitioned for another change of master.
Jupiter, telling him
that it would be the last time that he could grant his request,
ordained that he be sold to a tanner.
The Ass found that he had
fallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,
said, groaning:
"It would have been better for me to have been
either starved by the one, or to have been overworked by the
other of my former masters, than to have been bought by my
present owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, and
make me useful to him."
He that finds discontentment in one place
is not likely to find happiness in another
