The Ass Eating Thistles.

An Ass was loaded with good provisions of several sorts, which, in timeof harvest, he was carrying into the field for his master and thereapers to dine upon. By the way he met with a fine large Thistle, and,being very hungry, began to mumble it; and while he was doing so heentered into this reflection: "How many greedy epicures would thinkthemselves happy, amidst such a variety of delicate viands as I nowcarry! But to me this bitter, prickly Thistle is more savory andrelishing than the most exquisite and sumptuous banquet. Let otherschoose what they may for food, but give me, above everything, a finejuicy thistle like this and I will be content."

Every one to his taste: one man's meat is another man's poison, and oneman's poison is another man's meat; what is rejected by one person maybe valued very highly by another.
