A man loaded a goat, a sheep, and a pig onto a donkey and drove it toward town. The pig squealed all the way, and a fox, hearing him, asked why he alone cried out while the others rode along quietly. The pig replied, “I have good reason to lament. I know full well that the master will spare the sheep, since it supplies him with wool and lambs. He will spare the goat as well, for its cheese and kids. But since he has no other use for me, he is sure to slaughter me.” So too, people who foresee the misfortunes awaiting them should not be blamed for lamenting.
