Use the paragraph to answer the question.
A farmer had a horse that had been a faithful servant to him: but he was now grown too old to work, so the farmer would give him nothing more to eat, and said, "I want you no longer, so take yourself off out of my stable; I shall not take you back again until you are stronger than a lion." Then he opened the door and turned him adrift.
