A witch doctor his son and a donkey

     One day the witch doctor said to his son, " Son, we need to go to town and sell our donkey to buy more herbs."  So they started to town and met some girls going to a big, loud  party.
The girls said to him, " You should always treat your child well." So he put the boy on the sturdy donkey.
     Next, they met some old men who said,  " Children have no respect to us old people." So he told his son to get off and he got on the sturdy donkey.
     Next they met a group of women who said,  " Look how tired that boy looks,"  gasped the women. " Put that boy on the donkey."  So they were both on the donkey.
     A little while later, they saw an elderly man and he said, " That poor donkey is so tired, get off and carry that poor donkey!" So they got off and tied the donkey's legs together and put him on the a pole and carried it to town. When they got there they crossed a narrow bridge. A crowd had gathered and saw this weird thing. The donkey got spooked at the laughing crowd and jumped off the pole and into the rushing waters. The helpless donkey drowned. The witch doctor got very angry and ashamed at himself and at the crowd. He never got his herbs.
