THAN THE TEXT ON THE BACK OF THIS CARD:
A traveler hired an Ass to convey him to a distant place. The day being intensely hot, and the sun
shining in its strength, the Traveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat under the
Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one, and as the Traveler and the owner
of the Ass both claimed it, a violent dispute arose between them as to which of them had the right
to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let the Ass only, and not his Shadow. The
Traveler asserted that he had, with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrel
proceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Ass galloped off.
Moral: In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.
