The Ass and His Driver驢和趕驢人

An ass that was being driven along the road by his master suddenly left the beaten track and bolted as fast as he could to the edge of a cliff. When he was just at the point of falling over, his master ran up, grabbed him by the tail, and tried to pull him back. But the ass resisted and pulled the opposite way until the man let go and said, "Well, Jack, if you want to be your own master, I can't help it. A willful beast must go his own way."
