THE DONKEY AND THE DOG
A washerman had a donkey and a dog. Every morning
he went to the river to watch clothes. The donkey carried the load of clothes.
The donkey lived in a shed outside the master`s house. They dog stayed inside
the house all day. In the evening he was a happy when his master came back. He
licked him and jumped on him. The master lifted the dog in his arms and look
him inside the house.
The donkey also wanted to live in the house. I
might also act like the dog, ``he said to himself. Then he will surely lift me
in his arms. He will surely carry me into the house.’’
The next evening, the donkey, went into the house.
He jumped on his master. He began licking him. The master did not lift the donkey.
He took him to the shed. You are not like the dog, he told the donkey, as he
patted him. You are much bigger. So you cannot come into the house. You are
also heavy and so you must not jump on me. I can lift the dog but I cannot lift
you. But I love you as much as I love the dog. You must understand that you are
different.
