  • Two Mules2 laden3 with packs were trudging4 along. One carried panniers filled with money, the other sacks of grain. The Mule1 carrying the treasure walked with head erect5, and tossed up and down the bells fastened to his neck. His companion followed with quiet and easy step. All on a sudden Robbers rushed from their hiding-places upon them, and in the scuffle with their owners wounded the Mule carrying the treasure, which they greedily seized upon, while they took no notice of the grain. The Mule which had been wounded bewailed his misfortunes. The other replied: "I am glad that I was thought so little of, for I have lost nothing, nor am I hurt with any wound."

    The conspicuous6 run the greatest risk.
