B
A man had a little dog, and he liked it a lot. He would pat its head, put it on his knee and talk to
it. Then he would give it some food from his own plate.

A donkey looked in through the window and saw the man and the dog.
“Why doesn’t he choose me as his pet?” said the donkey. “It is not fair. I work hard, and the dog only wags(摆动) its tail, barks and jumps onto the master’s knee. It is not fair. ”
Then the donkey said to itself, “If I do what the dog does, the master may choose me as
his pet. ”
So the donkey ran into the room. It brayed at the top of its voice. It shook its tail so hard
that it knocked over a jar on the table. Then it tried to jump onto the master’s knee.
The master thought the donkey was maniacal, and he shouted, “Help! Help!”
Some men came running in with sticks in their hands and they beat the donkey until it
ran out of the house.
“I only did what the dog did,” said the donkey, “and yet they still treat the dog as their
pet and they beat me with sticks. It is not fair. ”
