The poor horse was very Milan, and wandered up and down the wood, seeking some little shelter from the cold, wind and rain. Presently a fox met him. What’s the matter, my friend he said he why do you hang down your head and looks so lonely and whoa bi, the horse supplied justice and avant, never dwelled in one house. My master has forgotten all that I have done for him so many years, and because I can no longer work he has turned me a drift, and says, unless I become stronger than a lion he will not take me back again. What chance can I have of that? He knows that I have none or he would not talk, so which idea is stated, explicitly in the text

The idea stated explicitly in the text is that the horse's master has abandoned him because he can no longer work and unless the horse becomes stronger than a lion, the master will not take him back.
