An old man, a boy & a dockey

Once upon a time, there was an old man, a boy and a donkey. They were going to town and it was decided that the boy should ride.

As they went along they passed by some villagers who thought that it was a shame for the boy to ride and the old man to walk.

The man and boy decided that maybe the critics were right so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some other villagers. These villagers thought that it was a real shame for the man to make such a small boy walk.

The two of them decided that maybe they both should walk after all it not so far.

Soon they passed another village. The villager there thought that it was stupid to walk when they had a donkey to ride.

The man and the boy decided maybe the critics were right so they decided that both them should ride.

They soon passed another group of villagers who thought that it was a shame to put such a load on a poor little animal.

The old man and the boy decided that maybe the critics were right so they decided to carry the donkey. As they came a bridge, they crossed bridge with the donkey. Suddenly they lost their grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned.

How often we are concerns with how others look at us? We try to please everyone listen to our critic and eventually we lose our ass.
