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. The farmhands came running in
and dragged the donkey off to his stable, and gave him a beating he did not
forget for the rest of his life.
