The Horse, Hunter, and Stag.

 

A quarrel had arisen between the Horse and the Stag, so
the Horse came to a Hunter to ask his help to take revenge
on the Stag. The Hunter agreed, but said: “If you desire to
conquer the Stag, you must permit me to guide you with
these reins, and allow this saddle to be placed upon your
back so that I may keep steady upon you as we follow after
the enemy.” The Horse agreed to the conditions, and the
Hunter soon saddled and bridled him. With the aid of the
Hunter the Horse soon overcame the Stag, and said to the
Hunter: “Now, get off and remove those things from my mouth

and back.” “Not so fast, friend,” said the Hunter.
“Now that I’ve got you under bit and spur I prefer to keep
you that way.”
        If you allow people to use you
       for your own purposes, they will use
      you for theirs.
