The Old Man, Boy, and a Donkey

Lesson: There is no way to please everyone.

They were going to town and it was decided that the boy should ride the
donkey. As they went along, they passed some people who thought that it
was
a shame for the boy to ride and the old man to walk. The man and boy
decided
that maybe the critics were right so they changed positions.

Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was a real shame
for
that man to make such a small boy walk. The two decided that maybe they
both
should walk.

Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to walk
when they had a donkey to ride. The man and the boy decided that maybe
the
critics were right, so they decided that they both should ride.

They soon passed other people who thought that it was a shame to put
such a
load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided that maybe
the
critics were right so they decided to carry the donkey.

As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and it fell
into the river and drowned.

The moral of this story is: If you try to please everyone, you will
eventually lose.
