The colt could not decide whether he could cross it.Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, “Aunt Cow, couldyou tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he couldand that the river was not very deep, just knee high.
The colt wascrossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stoppedhim. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! You’ll drown! One of my friendsdrowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the coltwent home to consult his mum.
He told his mum his experience onthe way. His mother said, “My child, don’t always listen to others.You’d better go and try yourself. Then you’ll know what to do.” Later,at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, it’stoo dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt.
