The Man, The Girl, and the Donkey
 N1 One sunny day a man decided to go to the
market in the town. He went to the stable and got
his donkey.   N2 The mans daughter looked
outside and saw her father about to set off for
the village, so she hurried outside.   G Dad!
Dad! Where are you going? Can I come too?   M
I'm just going to the market. You can come if you
want. Get your hat. Its a hot day.   G Father,
will we ride the donkey today? M No dear, we
wont ride him today for it is a hot day, and he
will have a heavy load to carry home from the
market. 
25
N1 The man, the girl, and the donkey headed
slowly down the dirt road that led to the town.
After a short while, they met a group of
farmers.   All My, oh my! What do I see? A crazy
situation right in front of me!   Farmer You
fools! Don't you know that donkeys are for
riding? You must be afraid to rub the fur of its
body.   Farmers Wife How ridiculous! You own a
donkey, but you dont use it! That makes you the
ass!   M What are you scoundrels scoffing at? My
dear, get up onto the Donkey. Donkey
EEee-aww! Why didnt that farmer keep his mouth
shut!   All Awwww
26
N2 Soon, they came to a group of old men and
women who were talking very earnestly. All My,
oh my! What do I see? A crazy situation right in
front of me!   Old Man That idle lout of a girl
sits there in luxury while her poor old father
sweats like a pig! Old Mans Wife Arent you
ashamed of yourself, young lady? Your legs are
young and strong, yet you let your father walk.
Despicable!   N1 The man wasnt a bit tired but
he said.   M What are you vagabonds scoffing at?
Get down, precious, I will take a turn riding the
donkey. Then the people will be
satisfied.   Donkey EEee-aww! I was better off
with the young lass. Hmpf! All Awwww
27
N2 Pretty soon they met some women coming from
the town. All My, oh my! What do I see? A crazy
situation right in front of me!   Woman 1 Why
shame on you. How can you ride upon the beast,
while that poor little boy there can hardly keep
pace by the side of you? Woman 2 You lazy old
fellow. What kind of a man rides a donkey and
leaves his poor little daughter to trudge along
beside him? M What are you old crows scoffing
at? Dear, climb up here with me! Donkey
EEee-aww! Double trouble.   All Awwww N1 They
had not gone far when they came upon another
group of passers-by who began to jeer, point and
heap more ridicule upon them. All My, oh my!
What do I see? A crazy situation right in front
of me!
28
Blacksmith Arent you ashamed of yourselves for
overloading that poor Donkey! Someone should take
a stick and knock the both of you off its
back! Blacksmiths Wife I agree, the poor animal
can hardly walk. You two fellows look more fit to
carry the poor beast than he is to carry you.
N2 The man and the girl stopped the donkey
once again and tried to think what to do. They
thought and they thought. They had tried
everything except carrying the donkey themselves.
M Let us tie up the donkeys four hooves and
put a pole on our shoulders so we can carry him
to market. Donkey EEee-aww! What a way to go!
Im dizzy. Whoo-hoo! Eee-aww! N1 There was the
donkey going to the market place upside down.
From all sides, people came running and laughing.
Never had they seen such an entertaining sight.
29
Donkey Eeeee-ore! Girl, is it noisy.   N2 The
Donkey was upset by all the noise, so it started
to struggle and wiggle just as they stepped on
the market bridge. N1 He got one hoof loose and
kicked at the girl. G Ouch! Cut that out!   N2
The girl dropped her end of the pole. The donkey
rolled off the bridge and into the water.   All
SPLASH!   N1 Before anyone could fish him out he
drowned. M I have tried to please everybody and
have only made a fool of myself. After this I
shall do as I think best and let people say what
they will. All Try to please all and you will
please none!
