| This is a very old story, but it teaches us something that is still true today. One day, a father said to his young son, "Come with me and I will show you something." The father got onto his donkey (毛驴) and told his son to walk behind him. On the road, some people pointed at the man and said, "Look at that man! Why doesn"t he let the boy ride the donkey?" The man and the boy heard this, and so they changed places. The boy rode and the man walked. A few minutes later, they passed some other people. The people pointed and said, "Look at that boy! How can he ride while his old father walks?" So the man got onto the donkey with the boy. Then they passed some other people, who said, "That poor little donkey can"t carry two people. They"re much too heavy." So they got off the donkey and they both walked. They walked through a village, and people laughed at them, saying, "Look at those two fools! Why do they walk when they have a donkey?" The man thought and then said, "We"ve tried walking and we"ve tried riding. Let"s try carrying it." So they carried the donkey, and all the people in the village laughed at them, saying, "Look! They"re carrying the donkey! They"re mad."
