The Horse Wishing To Be Revenged On The Stag was an interesting story because it tells how horses were before they were used by men. A horse sought to help a man and does so, but the man requests that the horse stays with him. The man wanted this because of how useful the horse was. The horse out of grief stayed, but ended up dying in his stall after living a long life. The horse regretted staying wit the man. The most interesting part of the story to me was the human-like qualities of the horse. The horse understood everything and communicated with the man. I think this concept, even though animals don't talk, stays true today. What I mean is, that animals read what people are doing and many are treated unfairly. We tend to not think of animals as their own person. We think we own them. I think this story shows to respect animals or they will live a dreadful life.
The Ass and the Dog tells a similar story as above. A donkey seeks to rest while a dog seeks to eat. The thing is their master is sleeping on the donkey and neither can get caught resting or eating. The dog tempts the donkey to let him eat while the donkey lays down a bit. The donkey doesn't let the dog eat, but gets caught in the process of resting when his master awakes. The master disciplined the donkey for resting. Again, We forget animals have souls too. I think this story shows, like above, that people need to put animals regards into their minds. In other words, treat others how you would like to be treated, even if its a non-threatening animal.
