The Oxen and the Axle-Trees
        A HEAVY WAGON was being dragged along a country lane by a team of
        Oxen.  The Axle-trees groaned and creaked terribly; whereupon the
        Oxen, turning round, thus addressed the wheels:  "Hullo there! why
        do you make so much noise? We bear all the labor, and we, not
        you, ought to cry out."
       
        Those who suffer most cry out the least.
