Finally, the farmer asked the horse to get away from his house and to go live in the forest. The horse became very sad and started crying. He thought, “Now, when I am aged and desperate, my master is treating me badly. “
He asked his master, “Master, I have always been your devoted servant. I have worked hard every single day for several years. How could you ask me to leave the house at this old age? Is this the incentive I am getting for my loyalty and work? “
On listening to this, the farmer had no answer so he kept a condition to keep the horse at home. He said, “Alright, you can reside in my house, provided you bring me a lion. I want a lion’s skin. “
The horse was really worried at this option, but he set out for the forest. He realized that it was an extremely difficult task and he would not be able to do it.
