Aesop:
- We can’t walk or tread the stiff heights with unbearable loads on our shoulders. However, the climbing the heights with some load requires sufficient strength and stamina. There is interesting story of the slave Aesop who lived in Greece. (BC.6C):
- On a long journey, his master charged to pick up Sack loads and move towards the destination. Aesop chose the big heavy Sack of loaves. Every one made fun of him. But by and by the loaves were eaten from his Sack. Few days later he walked empty handed. He was wise to make decisions and also obedient to his master in carrying the load over his back. Others carried the load till they reached destination.
