  A MAN once kept a Goat and an Ass.The Goat, envying the Ass on account of his greater abundance of food, said, "How shamefully you are treated:at one time grinding in the mill, and at anothercarrying heavy burdens"; and he further advised him to pretend to be epileptic and fall into a ditch and so obtain rest.The Asslistened to his words, and falling into a ditch, was very muchbruised.His master, sending for a leech, asked his advice.Hebade him pour upon the wounds the lungs of a Goat.They at oncekilled the Goat, and so healed the Ass.
