The Horse and the Stag
A Horse and a Stag fought over a field.
The Horse asked a man to help defeat the Stag. The man agreed, but first put a bridle on the Horse and rode him into battle.
They defeated the Stag—but the man didn’t take off the bridle afterward. The Horse became a servant forever.
Moral: Don’t sacrifice your freedom to take revenge—you may never get it back.
