An old man, a boy and a donkey
An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy
rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went
along they passed some people who remarked that "it
was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding".
The man & 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 &
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
& he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the
story ?
SO PLEASE NOTE:
If you try to please everyone, you might as well... Kiss
your ass good-bye.
