ABSTRACT

Once there was a wagon drawn by two oxen, and suddenly one of theoxen slipped and went slam! down on the ground. This caused thesecond ox to fall as well. The poor wagon driver called for help, and people came running to help lift the creatures off the ground. One of the men who was helping to lift an ox said to the fellow alongside him, “Poor beast! How did it happen to fall?” Another man turned and answered, “Can’t you see that this animal can’t stand up straight? When the poor creature walks, it wobbles.”
