Chapter 55 - The farmer and the donkey

One day a farmer and his son were going to the market to sell their donkey The donkey plodded on in front while the farmer and his son walked behind. A man saw them.

The man called them out

Why are you both walking? Your son could ride on the donkey

When they had walked a little further, two old men shouted about them.

The farmer thought for a while and then asked his son.

Get on to the donkey, my son

As you wish.

Why is that young boy riding while his father is walking?

It's horrible! Young people are not thoughtful these days.

the fanter asked his son to get down and chinded on to the donkey

They had not gone far when two old women commented about them.

Oh, Yes! He is riding the donkey. while his poor son is walking.

Look! The farmer is so selfish.

Sighing, the farmer took his son up in front of him him and they went on their way.

Along the way, they met a few boys.

The boys made fun of the farmer and his son.

Look at these monsters!You are making the poor donkey carry such a heavy burden.

What should we do then?

The donkey is so tired You should carry the donkey now

Now, the farmer made the donkey lie down. Then he tied the animal's feet together. He got a long pole and it between the donkey's tied legs. He and his son carried the donkey upside down.

The donkey was heavy. As they came to a bridge. the farmer stumbled and fell. The donkey slipped into the river and soon drowned.

The farmer was sad. He thought to himself.

I should decide myself what is wrong or right thing to Is do. No one can please all the people all the time.
