THE MILLER, HIS SON AND THEIR
DONKEY
1)Who rode first?
2)Who rode next?
3)Did they carry the donkey?
One day, a miller and his son set off to sell
their donkey at a fair. Their donkey carried
their luggage, and they walked beside him.
Soon they met some women.
"You're walking? How silly! You could ride!
one said. So the miller made his son ride the
donkey.
Then they met some old men. One said, "See
that lazy boy ride the donkey? His poor old
father has to walk! So the son got down and
the miller rode the donkey.
Then they met some women and children.
"Why, you mean old man!" one woman
shouted. "Your poor little boy has to run to
keep up with you on your donkey! So the
miller told his son to ride, too.
When they were almost at the fair, they met
a judge. He said, Your poor old donkey has to
carry you and your luggage? Why, you two
could carry him easier than he can carry you."
So the miller and his son got down. They
tied the donkey's feet together. They put a
pole between his legs and turned him upside
down. Then they carried their own donkey on
the pole!
As they crossed a bridge, a crowd gathered
to laugh at the silly sight. The laughter made
the donkey angry. He broke free from the pole
and fell into the river. So the old miller went
home. By trying to please everybody, he had
pleased nobody. And he lost his donkey, too.
