The Clever Boy
A
man with his donkey carrying two sacks of wheat was on his way to the market.
After a little while he was tired and they rested under a tree. When he woke up
from his nap he could not see the donkey and started searching for the donkey
everywhere. On the way he met a boy, he asked the boy, "Have you seen my
donkey?" The boy asked, "Is the donkey's left eye blind, his right
foot lame and is he carrying a load of wheat?" The man was happy and said,
"Yes, exactly! Where have you seen it?" the boy answered "I
haven't seen it." This made the man very angry and he took the boy to the
village chief for punishment.
The
judge asked, "Dear boy, if you had not seen at the donkey, how could you
describe it?" The boy answered, "I saw the tracks of a donkey and the
right and left tracks were different from this I understood that the donkey
that passed there was limping. And the grass on the right side of the road was
eaten but the grass on the left was not. From that I understood that his left
eye was blind. There were wheat seeds scattered on the ground and I understood
that he must have been carrying a load of wheat. The judge understood the boy's
cleverness and told the man to forgive the boy.
This
story teaches us that we should not be quick to judge the people.
