<h2>THE ASS AND HIS DRIVER</h2>
<br/>
<p>An Ass was being driven down a mountain road, and after jogging
along for a while sensibly enough he suddenly quitted the track and
rushed to the edge of a precipice. He was just about to leap over
the edge when his Driver caught hold of his tail and did his best
to pull him back: but pull as he might he couldn't get the Ass to
budge from the brink. At last he gave up, crying, "All right, then,
get to the bottom your own way; but it's the way to sudden death,
as you'll find out quick enough."</p>
