The Playful Ass

by Aesop

AN ASS climbed up to the roof of a building, and, frisking about there, broke in the tiling. The owner went up after him, and quickly drove him down, beating him severely with a thick wooden cudgel. The Ass said: Why, I saw the Monkey do this very thing yesterday, and you all laughed heartily, as if it afforded you very great amusement.

Moral:
Those who do not know their right place must be taught it.
