The farmer, his son and the donkey

While a farmer and his son were going on a journey taking their donkey along, they passed a group of boys playing games. The boys laughed at the man and boy because they were walking. “You fools,” one said. “Why don’t you ride that donkey?”
The farmer did not like people laughing at him. He quickly put his son on the donkey and hurried through the village. As they passed a town some elderly men saw the boy on the donkey and said. “There, look at that! The boy sits and rests while the old man walks. There is no respect for the old! You mean child, get down off that donkey and let your father ride.”
The son did not want the people to think he was disrespectful so he jumped down and helped his father up onto the donkey’s back. The three walked on. A short while later, they passed a group of women and children working in the fields. The women were angry to see the man sitting comfortably and his son walking in the heat and dust. They shouted at the farmer, “There, that’s a man for you. He sits there like a chief while his own son suffers.”
As soon as he heard the women, the farmer pulled the boy up to sit in front of him on the donkey. They continued like this until they arrived at the market town. Everyone looked at they passed. The farmer stopped the donkey and asked a woman why everyone was staring. The woman answered, “Well, we’re surprised by the way you treat your donkey. You’re going to break its back! Then you won’t be able to continue your journey.”
So father and son climbed down. They thought and thought about what they could down. At last they realised that there is nothing you can do to satisfy the world. You can only try your efforts. With that in mind they continued their journey periodically changing who is carried by the donkey and letting it rest at times.The farmer, his son and the donkey
