An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the
donkey and the old man walked.
As they went along, they passed some people who remarked it was a
shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy
thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes
that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk.
Soon, they passed some people who thought they were stupid to walk
when they had a decent donkey to ride. So they both rode the donkey.
Later, they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to
put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they were
probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey.
As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and it fell into
the river and drowned.
