The minister asked the horse grooms， Has any other horse been bathed at this spot today? Yes， they replied， before we arrived， a dirty wild horse was bathed here. The minister told them， My dear grooms， this is a fine royal horse who loves cleanliness. He does not wish to bathe in dirty water. So the thing to do is to take him up river， where the water is fresh and clean， and wash him there.

　　They followed his instructions， and the royal horse was pleased to bathe in the new place.

　　The minister returned to the king and told what had happened. Then he said， You were correct your majesty， this fine horse was indeed of such high quality that he would not let himself sink into dirtiness!

　　The king was amazed that his minister seemed to be able to read the mind of a horse. So he rewarded him appropriately.

　　The moral is： Even animals value cleanliness.
