Sometimes Vijay would ride Dudo. In return, Vijay took good care of Dudo. His son Ananda cleaned the stable twice a week. Sometimes Ananda would take Dudo for a walk. One day, while Dudo was under a big tree grazing the fresh grass, a group of other horses appeared. They were wild horses. One of them asked Dudo, “Why are you working for that old man? Why must you do all the hard work?” “He is my master and he has been very kind to me”, replied Dudo. “Dudo, you are stupid. Why don't you follow us? We will be your friends and we will take you to a better place where you can eat better grass,” said another horse. Dudo thought for a while. “I will not leave my master. He has given me a comfortable place to live and he has treated me like his own family,” said Dudo. Finally, the wild horses gave up and moved away. They were very angry because they failed to trick Dudo. They actually wanted to serve Dudo to a fierce tiger at the edge of the jungle so that the tiger would not eat them instead.
