A Mule1, frolicsome2 from want of work and from overmuch corn, galloped3 about in a very extravagant4 manner, and said to himself: "My father surely was a high-mettled racer, and I am his own child in speed and spirit." On the next day, being driven a long journey, and feeling very weary, he exclaimed in a disconsolate5 tone: "I must have made a mistake; my father, after all, could have been only an ass6."
