How to Have a Day of Rest

A farmer could understand what the animals said to each other. He would linger in the farmyard just to listen to their words. One evening he did hear the ox bemoaning to the ass the hardness of his lot. The Ass sympathised with the ox and told him: 'You do work very hard, and I would help ease your lot' But when the next morning a slave returned saying that the ox was sick, they fell out again. This ended their friendship. Canst thou tell the moral to this tale, Rodan?
