Boy, Man and Donkey
An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on
the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed
some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking &
the boy was riding.
The man & boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they
changed positions.
Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he
makes that little boy walk."
They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some
more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a
decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful
to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy & man said they were probably right, so they decide to
carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their
grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well...
Kiss your ass goodbye.
