Peer Pressure
There was an old man, a boy, and a donkey. They were going to town and
it was decided that the boy should ride. As they went along they
passed some people who thought that it was a shame for the boy to ride
and the old man to walk. The old man and boy decided that maybe the
critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later, they passed some more people who thought that it was a real
shame for that man to make such a small boy walk. The two decided that
maybe they both should walk.
Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to
walk when they had a donkey to ride. The man and the boy decided maybe
the critics were right so, they decided that they both should ride.
They soon passed other people who thought that it was a shame to put
such a load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided
that maybe the critics were right, so they decided to carry the
donkey.
As they crossed a bridge they lost their grip on the animal and he
sadly fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story: If you try to please everyone, you will
eventually lose your ass.
