Donkey and the dog

A washer man had a donkey and a dog. Both the donkey and the dog helped his
master in many ways.
One night, few thieves broke in the house of that washer man. The dog heard them and
started barking. The washer man got up and so did the neighbors.

“What is that? A dog. Let us run," said the thieves. By that time many people gathered
in the street. They tried to run away but they were caught by the people.

The washer man said, “I am glad I had this dog in my house. I am sure the thieves
would have looted me if my dog had not barked." The washer man was highly proud of
the dog. Every one too praised the dog.

From that day, the donkey started thinking, “The master thinks that the dog is a
more useful animal than me." The donkey decided he will show his master, the washer
man, that he too could be useful just like the dog. Few days passed. One night, it so
happened, two thieves again entered the washer man’s house. The thieves became
aware of the animals, present in that house. “We should be careful, friend! I have
heard that a dog guards this house," one thief said to the other.

As the thieves peeped in, they saw the dog sitting just outside the main door. “It
seems the dog is quite alert," said one thief.

“It is better to leave this house alone. We had better go at once," the other thief said
and the two thieves fled. But unknown to the thieves, the donkey was watching all this.
He thought, “It is a good opportunity for me to show my master that I too can be
useful to him. The thieves have run away. If I start shouting, the master will think that I
have driven the thieves away and out of this house." And the foolish donkey started
braying loudly.

Do you know what happen next?

When the washer man heard the donkey bray at this odd hour, he got angry. He
came out with a stick and thrashed the donkey. “This will teach him not to bray at
night," he screamed. The donkey got all the thrashes in silence. It did not know what
was taking place.

Just then the dog came to the donkey and said, “It is better to do your duties than
try to be like me." The donkey knew that the dog was right.There after both the donkey
and the dog remained peaceful.

Today I’d like to tell you a story , Entitled

There was once a foolish donkey who wished he was

something else.
‘If only I was a giraffe,’ he would
say, 'then I could look over the
tops of trees...if only I was an
elephant then I could remember
where I left things...if only I was
a cheetah then I could run like the
wind...or fierce as a rhinoceros...
...or cunning as a crocodile...
...or strong as a hippo.’
Anything was better than being a
donkey. Everyone laughed at donkeys
and he didn’t like it one little
bit.
One day, when he was walking
through the forest the donkey saw
something draped over the branch
of a tree. When he got closer he
could see it was a lion costume.
‘I’d look good in that,’ he thought.
So he put it on.
It covered him from head to foot.
The donkey found a pool and
looked at his reflection.
‘I look magnificent,’ he said.
He paraded up and down looking at
his reflection from every angle.
The massive head of the lion
covered his donkey’s head and the
lion’s golden mane flowed round his
neck.
‘I look like a lion and I feel like a
lion,’ he said. ‘No-one will laugh at
me now. I am King of the beasts!’
The donkey couldn’t wait to show
himself to other animals. He walked
up to a giraffe who was eating leaves
from the top of a tall tree. She stopped
when she saw the donkey and bent her
long legs in a curtsy.
‘Your Majesty,’ she said, in a fearful
voice.
‘Greetings, giraffe,’ said the donkey
in a deep, lion-like voice. ‘Won’t
you join me in a stroll?
‘I can’t today,’ said the giraffe, ‘I
have to get tea for my children.’
And she ran away as quickly as she
could.
The donkey smiled to himself.
He saw a hippo in the river.
The hippo bowed his head when he
saw the donkey.
‘Your Majesty,’ he said, in hushed
tones.
‘Greetings hippo,’ said the donkey.
‘Won’t you join me in a stroll?’
‘I can’t today,’ said the hippo. ‘I
have to call on a friend who is sick.’
And he sank out of sight.
Inside the lion costume the donkey
was grinning all over his face.
He tripped over a crocodile sunbathing
on a rock.
‘Your Majesty!’ said the crocodile,
smiling with his teeth on the outside
of his lips.
‘Greetings crocodile,’ said the
donkey. ‘Won’t you…’
But the crocodile had slipped into
the water and disappeared.
The donkey was jubilant.
He wanted to leap up and down
with delight. What a marvellous
thing it was to be a lion. A lion was
admired and feared by all the other
animals. He felt like a king.
Just then a wily fox came into view.
When he saw the donkey he turned
to run.
The donkey could contain his
delight no longer. ‘I’m a lion,’ he
thought. ‘I look like a lion, I act like
a lion. I feel like a lion. I BET I EVEN
SOUND LIKE A LION.’
And the foolish donkey lifted his
head and roared.
‘Hee-Haw, Hee-Haw, Hee-Haw!’
The fox stopped in his tracks. He knew
that sound. He grabbed the lion's mane
and pulled. The lion costume came off
in his hands. The donkey stood there,
trembling. The fox began to laugh.
So did the crocodile.
So did the giraffe.
And so did the hippo.
‘If only I had kept my mouth shut,’
thought the donkey.
The other animals put their arms
round him.
‘Don’t worry,’ they said, ‘we like
you just as you are.’
And they all hurried away before
the real lion came along.
