The Story of Two Donkeys

The Story of Two Donkeys

 

A good story for all of us to pay heed to in our careers and social life........ leave it to all of you to come up with a moral for this one..

 

Once upon a time a Washerman was bringing up two donkeys.

 

Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.

 

Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washerman's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.

 

The innocent Donkey-B is normal, so it walked at normal speed, irrespective of the washerman's presence. After a period of time, Washerman started pressurizing Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A. But Donkey-B was unable to walk fast, it was frequently punished by the washerman. It cried and told Donkey-A "Dear friend, there are only two of us here, why to compete with each other....we can carry equal load at normal speed ".

 

That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and the very next day it indicated to the washerman that it could carry a far greater load and yet it could run faster too.

 

The obviously happier washerman looked at Donkey-B and his BP soared; he started kicking Donkey-B. Next day with smile, Donkey-A carried a heavier load and started running faster. But it was too much for Donkey-B because there was no way it could match Doneky-A. The washerman was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down beaten hopelessly.

 

Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supreme and happily started carrying more load with great speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B was also being carried by Donkey-A., and still it had to run fast. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain. But washerman expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried its best, but couldn't cope up with his owners demand.

 

The Washerman got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing it as well to take more load... Donkey-A was crying for long time and then tried its best... But it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction. Finally the day came when due to frustration the washerman killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys.

 

It could be a longer story certainly…..

 

But the moral of the Story in Corporate and social life is......
