Fable 276 - The Ass and the Dog Travelling Together

An ass and a dog were taking the same route when they found a sealed document on the ground. The ass picked it up, broke the seal,
and opened it, read it aloud and the dog listened. It was all about fodder – that is to say hay, barley and straw. The dog became
bored by this recital from the ass and said:
‘Skip a few lines, friend. Maybe you’ll come across something in there about meat and bones.’
The ass scanned the rest of the document and found nothing that was of interest to the dog, who then spoke up again:
‘Throw the paper away. It’s completely useless.’
