Aesops FablesThere was once a Groom who used to spendlong hours clipping and combing the Horse ofwhich he had charge,but who daily stole aportion of his allowance of oats,and sold it forhis own profit.从前，有一个马夫，常常花费几个钟头来为他负责照管的马修剪和梳理毛发，可是他却每天都会偷一部分喂马的燕麦，拿去卖了以谋私利。The Horse gradually got into worse and worsecondition,and at last cried to the Groom,Ifyou really want me to look sleek and well,youmust comb me less and feed me more.逐渐地，马的健康状况越来越糟糕，最后忍不住对马夫大叫：“你要是真想让我看上去光滑闪亮，就应该少给我梳毛，多喂我燕麦。”
