It's about sunrise, the saddle horse is been make ready for the master's use, who loves to visit his farm every morning to see how much work the labourers has done and pay them their agreed wage. The cattle is already in the farm before sunrise to continue ploughing, as these has been his routine for the past few weeks. The master approached the farm, he came down from the horse, as the horseman moved the horse to the riverbank to feed while the cattle was used to plough. At the end of the day, the horse and the cattle started a conversation in the ranch, the cattle complained to the horse "I am been used everyday for work even under the scourging sun, but your story is different, you carry the master in the morning and when you drop him in the farm you're taken to the riverbank to feed, my friend my body is breaking down, I just need a day off to rest, what do I do my good friend?" Then the horse gave the cattle a brilliant advice, "my friend I am moved by your situation and I feel your pain, but I would give you an advice that would help you to get a day off, you would pretend to be sick when the labourers would come to take you" then the cattle thanked the horse so much for the advice but he wasn't so sure that the idea would work. The morning came, it's time for work the labourers came to take the cattle, but he laid and pretended to be sick as much as he can, the labourers couldn't take him to work, so they complained to the master and he instructed that the horse be taken to do the work, because he wanted the job completed before the first rain, so the horse was taken. A good day for the cattle became a bad day for the horse, after the days job, the horse came back and refused to talk to the cattle, because he was so mad and never expected to be the one to be used for such horrible job. The next day the cattle also pretended to be sick and the labourers took the horse, that day seems to be the worst day the horse has lived in its entire life, when the horse came back he asked the cattle "my friend how come am suffering because I decided to help you?" The cattle replied "am so sorry that you're doing my job now, but you would please give me some days to rest" then the horse replied "some days????", That made the horse more mad, he had to tell the labourers that the cattle is pretending, but how would he communicate to them? so the morning came, it's time for work as usual, as the labourers got to the ranch the horse and cattle was lying down pretending to be very ill, the labourers paused, the horse paused and the cattled paused.
