Two men who were enemies were sailing on the same ship, one seated at the stern, the other at the bow. When a storm arose and the ship was about to sink, the man at the stern asked the helmsman which end of the ship would go under first. “The bow,” he replied. “Then death holds no sorrow for me,” said the man, “if I am to see my enemy die before me.” The fable shows that many people care nothing for their own misfortune, so long as they see their enemies suffer first.
