The day being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, the traveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat under the shadow of the donkey. As this afforded protection for one, and as the traveler and the owner of the donkey both claimed it, a violent dispute arose between them as to which of them had the right to the shadow. San Diego State BA 360 Operations and Supply Management of Thomas Food Company The owner maintained that he had let the donkey only, not his shadow. The traveler asserted that he had, with the hire of the donkey, hired his shadow also. The quarrel proceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the donkey galloped off. (Aesop / 620 BC – 564 BC) In quarrelling about the shadows, we often lose the substance.
