The Parable of Dandy and Freedom
A story about David O. McKay's horse, Dandy, illustrates the clash between the desire for freedom and the protection provided by boundaries. Dandy was a curious horse who resented restraints, often finding ways to escape pastures and fences, believing he sought happiness beyond those confines. Unfortunately, his curiosity led him to a poisoned sack of grain, resulting in his tragic death, which highlights the consequences of seeking freedom without understanding the dangers involved. This tale serves as a metaphor for youth who may not comprehend that commandments are in place not as limitations, but as safeguards against harm.
