Best match for the play: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
Reason: Nils was mean to the farm animals (he pulled tails, threw shoes, chased them). Later, they were mean to him (they chased him). He treated others badly, so he received the same treatment, which fits this proverb perfectly.
