During the war, a soldier carefully fed his horse with barley. However, as soon as the war was over, the horse was pulled to hard labour and carried heavy goods. Later, the war flared up again, the bugle sounded, and the master prepared his saddle and rode his horse to meet the enemy. At this time, the horse had no strength and kept falling. He said to his master, "you'd better find another war horse quickly. Because you have turned me into a donkey, how can you ride me as a war horse?"
Moral: disaster cannot be forgotten in peaceful and comfortable days.
