85. 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.
