Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)218. THE DONKEY AND THE OX A man had just one ox so he yoked the ox together with a donkey and started to plow. It was a humiliating arrangement, but unavoidable. When the work was finished and the man was about to unyoke them, the donkey asked the ox, 'Who do you think is going to carry the old man's tools on his back?' The ox said to the donkey, 'The same one who always carries them!'  Source:
