a waggoner was driving his team along a muddy lane with a full load behind them, when the wheels of his wagon1 sank so deep in the *e2（泥沼） that no efforts of his horses could move them. as he stood there, looking *lessly on, and calling loudly at intervals3 upon hercules for assistance, the god himself appeared, and said to him, "put your shoulder to the wheel, man, and goad4（*，煽动） on your horses, and then you may call on hercules to assist you. if you won't lift a finger to * yourself, you can't expect hercules or any one else to come to your aid."
heaven *s those who * themselves.
