A donkey, owned by a plant-selling person who gave to him a small amount of food and a lot of work, asked Jupiter to be given a new master. Jupiter, after saying that he would not like the request, caused for him to be sold to a person who made coverings for building [tiles]. After a short time, the donkey had more work with his new master. He asked Jupiter to be given another master. Jupiter, saying to him that then was the final time that he could ask to be given a new master, caused for him to be sold to a person who darkens the skins of animals. The donkey said, "I would prefer to be hungry with one master or to be worked by another, than to be owned by this person who will darken my skin when I am dead."
