There was a farm and the owner of the farm had a sheep and a horse. The horse was doing all the work of the farm.

One day the horse got sick and lay down, so all the work of the farm stopped.  The owner of the farm came often to check on the horse. One day the owner of the farmer visited the watchman and told him, “If the horse doesn’t recover within the next three days, I will slaughter him.”

The sheep heard that conversation and went straightaway to the horse and told him, “I heard the owner of the farm saying that if you haven’t recovered within the next three days he will slaughter you!”

The horse tried on the first day to stand up but he failed; on the second day, he tried again but also failed to stand up; on the third day, when he was supposed to be slaughtered, the sheep came to him and said, “Today is your last day and you have to stand up.” The sheep helped him and helped him until he stood up and recovered. When the owner of the farm came and found the horse standing up, he became very happy.

What was his reaction? He said, “Now that the horse has recovered, we have to slaughter the sheep to celebrate the recovery of the horse.”
