Ron delivers another intentionally boring reading of Aesop's "Hercules and the Wagoner," a classic fable about self-reliance and the importance of taking action before seeking divine intervention.

• A wagoner gets his cart stuck in deep mud and immediately prays to Hercules for help
• Instead of rescuing him, Hercules tells the wagoner to get up and put his shoulder to the wheel
• The fable concludes with the famous moral: "The gods help them that help themselves"
• Ron maintains his trademark monotone delivery throughout the short reading
• The episode clocks in at under three minutes, perfect for a quick dose of ancient wisdom
