A soldier who was at war looked after his horse with great care. He gave it the best grass to eat and the cleanest water to drink. He kept its coat clean and covered it with a warm quilt on cold nights. As a result, the horse was strong and served the soldier quite well in the war.
However, the soldier changed after the war. He made the horse live in a small and cold stable（马厩）and gave it very little food to eat. The stable had a leaky（漏雨的）roof and a floor made of mud; the water inside was dirty and muddy. The soldier made the horse work hard on his farm, carrying heavy things every day.
After some time, another war broke out. The soldier took out his weapons and prepared to join the battle. He went to the stable to lead his horse. He laid a leather saddle on its back and rode on it.
For a moment, the horse stood there and didn't move. The soldier kicked it. Then gradually, its thin legs began to kneel down slowly to the ground. The horse gave the soldier a look of sadness.
"Master, " it said, "you'll have to fight on foot this time. You have made me work like an elephant and fed me like a sheep. I'm no longer the strong horse that you once helped me become. Can you see what you've done?"
If you behave in a bad way, bad things will eventually（最后）happen to you, and if you behave in a good way, good things will eventually happen to you.
