24 Aug Look, everyone who meets me, worships me…! (AESOP)
A man had placed a carved image on his donkey and was leading him along. Many people bowed down when they met them along the way. The donkey grew arrogant, thinking that the country folk were bowing down before him, so he began to leap and prance. As he did so, the donkey almost threw the image of the god from his back. The donkey’s master beat him with a stick and said, ‘You are a donkey carrying a god on your back, but that does not mean you deserve to be worshipped as a god!’
