A country folk rode a cow to the city to do business. The cow moved very slowly. They set off in the early morning but only reached the city at night. At this moment, the bazaar had been over long before, so he could not do any business.
The old cow caused delay in his business, so his neighbour advised him to buy a steed to replace the cow.
In order to start his business early, he decided to buy a steed as an investment.
However, he loved the cow very much. He thus had this idea: It could be faster to put the steed and the cow together.
Therefore, the two animals walked abreast. The horse was on the left and the cow the right. The horse was faster and the cow slower. As a result, it was even slower than riding on the cow alone. This time, only at midnight did they arrive. He was very angry and lashed the horse with a whip. He scolded loudly, 'It costs me a fortune to buy a stupid horse like you. It's better to ride only my cow!'
