The Bull and the Calf
by Aesop
A BULL was striving with all his might to squeeze himself through a narrow passage which led to his stall. A young Calf came up, and offered to go before and show him the way by which he could manage to pass. Save yourself the trouble,
said the Bull; I knew that way long before you were born.
Moral:
Do not presume to teach your elders.
