the second said, "i have a horse to look after, but i leave the bit in his mouth, and if i do not want to do it, i give him no food, and i say he has had it already. i, however, lay myself in the oat-chest and sleep for four hours. after this i stretch out one foot and move it a couple of times over the horse’s body, and then he is combed and cleaned. who is going to make a great business of that? nevertheless service is too toilsome for me."
