THE HORSE, THE FLY AND THE MAN

  A horse grazed in a field when a fly sat on his back. The horse tried to hit the fly with his tail, saying:

  -Go out from my back, despicable insect!

   The  fly escaped and answered:

  -The man rides and flogs you, but you irritate yourself just with me who only sat on your back.

   And then the horse said:

   -You have reason… But now, go to say it to another horse.

  (Osmar Batista Leal)
