iT'S NOT FAIr

A man had a little dog, and he
was very fond of it. He would
pat its head, and take it on his
knee, and talk to it. Then he
would give it little bits of food
from his own plate.
A donkey looked in at the
window and saw the man and
the dog.
"Why does he not make a pet
of me?" said the donkey.
"It is not fair. I work hard, and
the dog only wags its tail, and
barks, and jumps on its
master's knee. It is not fair."
Then the donkey said to
himself, "If I do what the dog
does, he may make a pet of
me."
So the donkey ran into the
room. It brayed as loudly as it
could. It wagged its tail so hard
that it knocked over a jar on
the table. Then it tried to jump
on to its master's knee.
The master thought the donkey
was mad, and he shouted,
"Help! Help!"
Men came running in with
sticks, and they beat the
donkey till it ran out of the
house, and they drove it back
to the field.
"I only did what the dog does,"
said the donkey," and yet they
make a pet of the dog, and
they beat me with sticks. It is
not fair."

mORAL OF THE STORy
What is good for the goose is good for the gander but what is good for the dog may not be good for the donkey.
