There was a quarrel between the Horse and the Stag. So to take the revenge against the stag the Horse came to a Hunter to ask for his help.
The Hunter agreed, but said: "If you wish to conquer the Stag, you must take permission from me to place this piece of iron between your jaws, so that I may guide you with these reins, and allow this saddle to be placed upon your back so that I may keep steady upon you as we follow after the enemy."
The Horse agreed to the conditions, and the Hunter soon saddled and bridled him.
Then with the aid of the Hunter the Horse soon
overcame the Stag, and said to the Hunter: "Now,
get off, and remove those things from my mouth
and back."
"Not so fast, friend," said the Hunter. "I have now got you under bit and
spur, and prefer to keep you as you are at
present."
