cOmpletely wRong of Man


A man and his son were once going with their donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them said, “you fools, what is a donkey but to ride upon?”.

So the man put the boy on the donkey and they went on their way. Bat soon they passed a group of man, one of whom said, “see that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides”.

So the man had his boy get off, and got onhim self. But they hadn’t gon far when they passed two women, one women whom said to the other, “Shame on that lazy lout t6o make his poor little son trudge along”.

The man didn’t know what to do, but at last he took his boy up before him on the donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passers-by began to jeer and point at then. The man what they were scoffing at. The man said “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for over loading that poor donkey of yours you and your hulking sin?”.

The man and boy got off and tried to thing what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who mat them till they came to market bridge, when the donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the boy to drop his and of the pole. In the struggle the donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together he was drowned.

“That will teach you,” said an old man who had followed them:

“PLEASE ALL, AND YOU WILL PLEASE NONE.”………..
