A carter was driving a wagon along a country
lane, when the wheels sank down deep into a rut. The rustic driver, stupefied
and aghast, stood looking at the wagon, and did nothing but utter loud cries to
Hercules to come and help him. Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed
him: "Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man. Goad on your bullocks, and
never more pray to me for help, until you have done your best to help yourself,
or depend upon it you will henceforth pray in vain."
Self-help is the best help.
Self-help is the best help.
