31. The Shadow of A Donkey

 

The Shadow of A Donkey

It was a hot summer day. The rays of the sun were very hot. There was no shade anywhere to protect from the hot sun rays. It seems to be that a big fireball was firing above our head that was spreading everywhere.

In this situation, a villager hired a donkey to go to a town from his village. The owner of the donkey was with them. The donkey was very lazy. On a way, he stopped at noon. The villager was very tired. He needed to take some rest. So, he sat in the shadow of the donkey and tried to sleep.

The master of the donkey was also tired. He needed to take some rest. The owner of the donkey wanted to sit in the shadow of the donkey beside the villager. But the traveler did not agree. The traveler said to the master of the donkey that as he hired the donkey so all of the donkey's were possessed by him. The master of the donkey did not agree with his opinion. He said to him that his idea was wrong. He also told the hirer that he was the owner of the donkey. This is why the shadow of the donkey and the donkey itself is possessed by him. The traveler could not accept his decision. So, they began to quarrel with each other over their position.

At this moment, seeing quarreling the donkey ran away with his shadow. When they stopped their quarrel they were astonished not to see the donkey there. They lost everything on account of their bad intention.

In summary, we have known from the above story that quarreling is not good. It always harms us. So, all of us should avoid quarreling.
