THE MOTHER OF THE LITTLE HORSE

  

   The mother of the little armadillo was taking her son to the school when she passed in front of the gate of the house of the little horse and saw the little horse's mother leaving to take her son to the school too. And then the mother of the little armadillo asked the mother of the little horse:

    -Are you going to take your son to the school of the teacher Laggard too?

    And the mother of the little horse answered:

   -Are you crazy? In the school of the teacher Laggard all the little animals study mixed.

   The mother of the little armadillo said:

   -But it is need for the education of the companionship in the society of the animals.

   And the mother of the little horse answered:

   My son wasn’t born to learn to live together in the society of the animals, but to dominate it.
