TWO DONKEYS

Two donkeys walk down a road carrying supplies on their backs.

​

The donkey named Danny grumbles to his friend, “It’s ridiculous how heavy this stuff is.”

​

Danny trots over to their owner, “Excuse me, sir… the supplies we’re carrying are really heavy. Is there any way you can lighten up the load?”

​

The owner says, “sure, no problem” and removes a bag of supplies. 

​

Danny trots back to his friend, “Did you see that? It’s like taking candy from a baby. Why don’t you ask him to lighten up your load? 

​

His friend ignores him.

​

The next day, Danny trots back over to their owner, “Excuse me, sir... the supplies are still too heavy.”

​

The owner removes another bag. 

​

Danny trots back to his friend wearing a smile of victory... “worked again. My load’s half the size of your load. Why don’t you ask him... he’ll do it.” 

​

His friend says, “Maybe I will. Let me think about it.”

​

The next day, Danny asks the owner again, “Is it possible to take off one more bag, please?”

​

The owner ties Danny to the back of his wagon and drives him to a dog food manufacturing plant.
