An Ass climbed up to the roof of a building and, frisking about there,
broke in the tiling. His Master went up after him, and quickly drove
him down, beating him severely with a thick wooden cudgel.
The Ass then cried out in astonishment, "Why, I saw the monkey do this
very thing yesterday, and you all laughed heartily, as if it afforded
you great amusement!"
