Once there lived a horse and a stah. They were good friends and lived happily.
One noon, when the horse and stag were talking yo each other, a terrible argument broke between them. No sooner they began to kick and fight with other. The horse asked the stag to leave the farm, but the stag refused.
The horse threatened to revenge on the stag. So he went to a hunter and said, 'There is a stag on this farm. I can help you in catching it. I want you to kill it'.
The hunter said to the horse,'You should help in catching the stag. I will place an iron between your jaws so that you are able to lead me through the reins. I will also place this saddle on your back. The saddle will help me keep steady while we chase the stag'.
The horse readily agreed. He wanted to take revenge on the stag and did not doubted the hunter's intentions.Next day, the horse came to the hunter. The hunter bridled and saddled him. They set on the way to the farm where the stag lived. After hours of ceaseless chase the stag was finally caught and killed.
The horse of very happily and rejoiced his victory. Then he turned to the hunter and said, 'Thanks for killing my enemy. Now let me go - please take off this saddle and iron piece'.
The hunter laughed back and said,'Friend, you should stay with me and serve me as your master. I won't let you go now!'
The horse was trapped and taken away by the hunter.
Moral: If you allow people to use you for your own purposes, they will use you for theirs.
