THE DONKEY AND THE DOG |
|
|
In a small town there lived
a potter. He had a dog to guard his house and pottery and a donkey to carry his load. Whenever the master came, the dog used to bark a little to welcome
him. He ran up to the master and raised his front legs and puts them on the master. The
master pets the dog and gives him nice food to eat. |
The donkey used to watch this daily routine form a distance. He began to feel jealousy of
the dog. He thought with jealous, "What an easy life for the dog! He just roams
around. He barks at strangers. That's all his work. Yet, he is being cared with love and
affection. But look at me ! I carry all the loads. Yet, all I get is hard blows and
left-overs for eating.So the donkey decided to
behave in the same way as the dog, in order to get nice treatment from his master. |

little, ran to him and wagging his tail he started to lift his front legs. The master got annoyed. He took a long stick and landed heavy
blows. Poor donkey.
