The Donkey and The Lapdog

Once upon a time, there was a Donkey who lived on a farm. The farmer also had a small Lapdog that he loved very much. The Lapdog always got attention and special treats from the farmer.

Every day, the Lapdog would run to the farmer, wagging its tail and licking the farmer’s hands and face.

The Donkey saw all this from afar. Even though he wasn’t hungry and his needs were met, he had to do a lot of hard work. The farmer barely noticed him.

The Donkey felt jealous of the Lapdog and thought that if he acted like the Lapdog, the farmer would love him too. So, one day, he left his stable and, with a lot of noise, entered the farmer’s house.

He found the farmer sitting at the table. The Donkey started to play around just like the Lapdog. But, because he was so big, he knocked over the table.

Then, he put his hooves on the farmer’s knees and tried to lick his face.

But he was too heavy for the chair, and both the farmer and the Donkey fell down with the dishes breaking around them.

The farmer was frightened and called for help. The workers came running, and when they saw the mess the Donkey had made, they chased him back to the stable with kicks and shouts.

The Donkey was left alone in his stable, feeling sorry for what he had done, realizing that his actions only got him into trouble.
