The proud donkey
There was a sculptor who carved beautiful idols of gods and goddesses.
One day he had to take an idol of a goddess to a rich man. He mounted the idol on a donkey and started.

At last the sculptor took a hard stick and thrashed the donkey. He came back to his senses and walked on humbly.
Moral of the Story :
A nod for the wise and a rod for the fool.
