The Dung Beetle (2) [The Dung Beetle]
The Dung Beetle (2)
" First the big and then the small, " he said.
" Not that size is important, " he added as he lifted one of his thin legs and stretched it up toward the blacksmith.
" What do you want ? " the man asked.
" Golden shoes, " replied the dung beetle while balancing on five legs.
" You must be out od your mind to think that you should have golden shoes, " the blacksmith exclaimed, and scratched himself behind his right ear.
" Golden shoes ! " repeated the dung beetle crossly.
" Am I not as good as that big clumsy beast that needs to have a servant to groom it, and even to see it that it doesn't starve ? Do I not belong to the emperor's stable too ? "
" But why does the horse deserve golden shoes, have you any idea about that ? "
