(When Israel went out from Egypt. This is what the scripture said, that Egypt rejoiced at their going out. Rabbi Berekhyah said a proverb to Baal Basar who was riding on the donkey, one says, 'When shall I get down from the donkey?' and the other says, 'When shall he get down from me?' The time to get down came, and I do not know who rejoiced more — Midrash Tehillim (Buber) Psalm 109. Similarly: The sages made a proverb about Baal Basar who was riding on a donkey; the donkey waits for when he will get down from it, and he waits for when he will get down from his donkey — Agnon / And the Crooked Shall Be Made Straight, End of Chapter 100.)
