Father and son were taking their donkey home from the market. On their way someone said aloud: “Why? So stupid. Have a donkey, no one is riding it?”

So the father said: “you ride the donkey.”

Then a woman exclaimed “How shameful, to have his father walk and he’s riding.”

So the father was riding the donkey, while his son walked.

But this also was wrong, and now both father and son were riding on the donkey.

“Well, that’s comfortably riding together at the expense of the little creature.” Another woman blamed them.

So they fastened the donkey’s feet and pushed a wooden pole through it. Upside down the donkey was hanging on the pole and carried on their shoulders.
