QUARREL had arisen between the 

 Horse and the Stag, so the Horse 

 came to a Hunter to ask his help 

 to take revenge on the Stag. The 

 Hunter agreed, but said : " If you desire to 

 conquer the Stag, you must permit 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 condi- 

 tions, 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."
