The Work Donkey and the Wild Donkey, 일하는 당나귀와 야생 당나귀, 이솝우화
Wild Donkey, who was wandering idly about, one day came upon a Work-Donkey lying at full length in a sunny spot and thoroughly enjoying himself.
Going up to him, he said, "What a lucky beast you are!
Your sleek coat shows how well you live: how I envy you! "
Not long after the Wild Donkey saw his acquaintance again, but this time he was carrying a heavy load, and his driver was following behind and beating him with a thick stick.
"Ah, my friend," said the Wild Donkey, "I don't envy you any more: for I see you pay dear for your comforts."
Advantages that are dearly bought are doubtful blessings.
