It is unlucky to kill a blue dragonfly. A little awkward because it will bring you luck if you place the wings of a blue dragonfly between the pages of a religious book. #SuperstitionSat (Evans, 1845. Shaw, C18th)
However, the fox ties the lions legs together and ties him to the horse’s tail. The horse returns to the farmer and the bad farmer agrees to keep and feed him in his old age. Personally, I don’t think the farmer deserves the horse, but still, that’s the story… 🦊🐴 🦁 🧑🌾 3/3
The horse leaves, sad and lonely, but happens upon a fox. The fox offers to help, tells the horse to lie down and brings a lion to him. He tells the lion that he should drag the horse to his den, to lie down too and he’ll tie the horse to his tail. 🐴 🦁 🦊 2/3
