Preparation for Elementary's Examination

Once a farmer owned a donkey and a lapdog. The donkey worked hard all day, hauling heavy loads. The lapdog stayed with his master all day, and lived in the house with him. He did not work, but was allowed to sit on the master’s lap. The donkey grew jealous of the lapdog.
Perhaps if I behave like the dog, like wag my tail and jump on the master, the master will start loving me as much as he does the dog. So the donkey decided to wait for his chance.
One day, when he was left unattended, the donkey broke his unique glass and ran into the farmhouse kitchen. There was the farmer sat on the chair. The donkey rushed up to him and began wagging his tail vigorously, and knocked off all the china from the chair. He then started jumping around and frolicking like a little dog, and finally plonked himself down on the farmer’s lap. The shocked farmer yelled for help.
