Hercules and the Carter

Hercules and the Carter

A Carter was driving a wagon loaded with a merchant’s goods, when the wheels stuck in a rut.  Thereupon he began to pray to Hercules, without other exertion. “Indolent fellow!” said Hercules; “you ask me to help you, but will not help yourself.” So the Carter helped himself to so many of the most valuable goods that the horses easily ran away with the remainder.
