THE STALLION AND ITS MASTER #Inspirational Moral
Stories
Long
ago, there was a very valiant and strong prince, Dimitri. He wanted a
fiery
horse of his own, and sought the advice of his cavalry captain. The
captain
told him: ‘My lord, if you uproot this oak tree, I’ll be able to judge
which
horse will suit you most.’ Dimitri pulled out the tree as if it were a
blade of
grass! Under its roots, was a richly decorated battle axe, a set of
ornate
reins, and a carved saddle. Choosing the strongest stallion, he tied it to
a strong
rope, and made it circle the pasture countless times. The animal
became
exhausted. Then, Dimitri tightly tied the saddle on its back, slung the
reins,
jumped on to it, and rode off. The horse set off furiously, but couldn’t
throw
Dimitri off. Finally, it accepted its master, but asked for three days of
freedom.
The stallion returned, and after that the two were inseparable.
