Mulla owned a large buffalo with widely spaced horns. He always daydreamed about how perfectly they were shaped to sit between, but he never had the guts to try. One day, the buffalo was sleeping peacefully on the ground. Seizing the moment, Mulla straddled its neck and sat right between the horns. Smiling, he called out to his wife, "Look! I feel like a king on his throne!" Startled, the buffalo bucked wildly, launching Mulla into the air and tossing him headfirst into a ditch. As his wife ran over to help him, Mulla groaned, "It's okay... it's not the first time a king has been overthrown."
