NOTHING IS PERFECT

1. Many years ago, a father and a son were on their way to town with their donkey.

2. The town was far from where they lived. In the middle of their journey, a girl laughed at them and said scornfully, “How stupid they are! Why don’t they ride on the donkey?” Then, the father asked his son to get on the donkey. They continued their journey.

3. A few hours later, they met a woman. The woman criticized the son and said, “That boy son doesn’t respect his father at all!” So, the father asked his son to get down immediately, and he jumped up on the back of the animal.

4. Then, a young man came across and said, “The father doesn’t love his son. The son was too young and too tired for the long journey.” Again, without any hesitation, he called his son to ride on the donkey with him together. “What a perfect arrangement!” the father said.

5. It is said, “Nothing is perfect.” On their way, they met another cynical old man. “Poor donkey! You are so skinny. It is too much for you to carry two persons,” the old man said sympathetically. “What should we do?” the father yelled.

6. As a result, the father made up his mind not to ride on the donkey anymore. They tied up the donkey to be them. With all their strength and might, they carried the heavy animal with a rod. They were crossing a bridge. Feeling not comfortable, the donkey struggled. And accidentally, the poor donkey toppled and felt down into the river and was drowned.
The philosophy of this story: There is always room for improvement. Don’t be a foolish follower. We need to have the abilities of thinking, analyzing and determining. Remember: Nothing is perfect.
