Archie and
His Donkey
Old Archie needed some money. He decided to sell his donkey. So he and his
son Tom went to town. It was situated many miles away.
Soon, they met a woman. “Where are you going?” she asked.
“To town,” said Archie.
“Any smart person would ride the donkey,” she said.
“What are you implying?” Archie asked. “ I’m very smart!” Archie wanted to
look smart. So he climbed onto the donkey. Then they continued in the direction
of the town.
Further along the road, they met a farmer.
“ Hello,” said Archie. “We want to sell this donkey. Do you want to buy it?”
“ I don’t need a donkey,” said the farmer. “ But if you want my advice, don’t ride
it. The donkey needs to be in good physical condition.”
“ Good idea,” said Archie. “Tom, I want you to ride it. You’re lighter.”
“ Neither you nor your son should ride it. It looks very tired. You should carry
the donkey.” suggested the farmer.
“You’re right,” said Archie. “Come on, Tom! We’ll carry it for the final few miles!”
The donkey was very heavy, and they couldn’t maintain a good speed. They
didn’t arrive until late in the evening. At last, they walked into the town. But there
they attracted the attention of some teenage boys. They laughed at Tom and
Archie. They started to throw stones at them. The donkey reacted by kicking. Tom
and Archie dropped the donkey. It fell on the ground and then ran
away. Archie lost his donkey. He went home with no money.
What does this story teach us? We cannot please
everyone in our society. Don’t take
