Wisdom for the Day -- and a Giggle!
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 and the boy was riding
.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who remarked,
'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.'
So they then decided they'd both 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 who shamed them by saying how awful to put
such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the
animal and 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!
Have a Nice Day and Be Careful With Your Donkey

This is an age-old story, but the moral is so true...:)
Very true. Have a great Sunday Sylvia.
Oh that's so true Sylvia :)

Old, yet ever new... it is fascinating how it is that such fables are still required; even this week I found myself in a situation of trying to carry the donkey. Sigh... YAM xx
I'll try to stay serious (if I can ...) and be my own beast of burden :-)
Certainly true Sylvia. There are things in life you can never do right.
Have a nice week
A classic story, and pretty much true. I hope you're having a great weekend - Socks wishes he could go for a walk but there are lots of storms around today. But he says woof and thanks for the pat!
Good one! This should be the start of a hectic (but good) couple of weeks - so I amy not be out and about in blog land as much as normal.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
