AN ASS climbed up to the roof of a building, and frisking about there, broke in the tiling.
Whoa! Get a load of me! I'm frisking about up here!
Whose stupid Ass is that up on the roof?!
The owner went up after him and quickly drove him down, beating him severely with a thick wooden cudgel.
Ow! Quit it!
This'll learn you, you stupid Ass!
The Ass said, "Why, I saw the Monkey do this very thing yesterday, and you all laughed heartily, as if it afforded you very great amusement."
Why, I saw the Monkey do this very thing yesterday, and you all laughed heartily, as if it afforded you very great amusement.
Okay, but you're not a monkey.
