The boy rode on the donkey and the old
man walked. As they went
along they passed some people who remarked
it was a shame the
old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe
the critics were right, so they changed
positions.
Later, they passed some people that remarked,
"What a shame,
he makes that little boy walk."
They then decided they both
would walk!
Soon they passed some more people who
thought they were stupid
to walk, when they had a decent donkey
to ride. So, they both
rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people that shamed
them by saying how
awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man said they were probably
right, so they decided
to carry the donkey. As they crossed
the bridge, they lost
their grip on the animal, and he fell
into the river and drowned.
The moral of this story?
If you try to please everyone, you might
as well kiss your
ass Good-bye.
