One day a man
was going to market with his son and his ass. They met a couple on the way.
"Why walk when you have an ass to ride?" called out the husband, “seat
the boy on the ass.” “I would like that,” said the boy, “help me up father.” And
the father did that willingly.
Soon, they met
another couple. “How shameful of you!” cried the woman, “let your father ride,
won’t he be tired?” So, the boy got down and the father rode the ass.
Again they
marched on. “Poor boy”, said the next person they met, “Why should the lazy
father ride while his son is walking?” So, the boy got onto the ass too.
As they went
on, they met some travellers. “How cruel of them! They are up to kill the poor
ass.” Cried one of the travellers. Hearing this the father and the son got down.
Now they decided to carry the ass on their shoulders. As they did so, the
travellers broke into laughter. The laughter frightened the ass. It broke free
and galloped away.
