The Ox and the Colt
One day an ox
and a colt arrived at a waterhole at the same time to drink. For a few minutes
they stood and stared at each other. Finally the ox spoke, “Surely you’ll want
me to drink first, my young friend, for I’m many years older than you .”
“Should I let you go first merely because you’ve
grown old?” asked the colt. “The world today belongs to the young. After all,
young people haven’t made as many mistakes as your generation has!”
Such
disrespect made the ox angry, but he tried not to show it. “ Then certainly,
you will respect me because I’ve experienced more of life than you,” said to
ox.
But the colt
argued, “Why should I do that? You forget that the world has changed. The young
today face more in a few years than you faced in a decade in the years of your
youth,” said the colt.
“Then, honor
me for what oxen have done through the years!” the ox demanded.
“And what have
oxen done that’s been so great?”
“They’ve
tilled the fields of the kings!” the ox cried.
“Have they?”
replied the colt. “you’ve forgotten that horses have carried the kings
themselves on their backs for centuries. Really, all of your arguments so far
have made me laugh!”
The ox
couldn’t endure his anger. He put down his head and began to paw the earth,
ready to charge.
“So you want
to fight! You’ll be sorry!” exclaimed the colt. And he reared back, anxious to
accept the challenge of the ox.
Suddenly, the
colt saw several vultures, circling overhead, waiting for the kill.
The colt brought his feet down to the ground and said
to the ox, “I do believe, Sir, that we’ve overlooked a fundamental fact here.
It appears
that there may be room enough for both of us to drink here at the same time.”
“I think, friend, you may be
correct,” replied the ox. Then as he looked toward the waterhole, he added,
“Yes, in fact, I’m sure you are right.”
And so they drank at the
waterhole together. Later as they went their separate ways, the vultures flew
away.

The Emperor’s New Clothes
Many years ago
there lived an emperor who cared only about his clothes about showing them off.
One day he heard two swindlers that they could make the finest suit of the
clothes from the most beautiful cloth. This cloth, they said, also had the
special capability that it was invisible to anyone who was either stupid or not
fit for his position.
Being a bit
nervous about whether he himself would be able to see the cloth, the emperor
first sent two of his trusted men to see it. Of course, neither would admit
that could not see the cloth and so praised it. All the townspeople had also
heard of the cloth and were interested
to learn how stupid their neighbors were.
The emperor
then allowed himself to be dressed in the
clothes for a procession
through town, never admitting
that he was too unfit and stupid to see what he was wearing. For he was afraid
that the other people would think that he was stupid.
Of course,
all the townspeople wildly praised the
magnificent clothes of the emperor, afraid to admit that they couldn’t see
them, until a small child said: “But he has nothing on”!
This was whispering from person to person until
everyone in the crowd was shouting that the emperor
had nothing on. The emperor heard it and felt that they were correct, but held
