The Old Man, the Boy and the Donkey

An old man,and a boy, were walking one day, with their donkey, into town, and people would say, What a foolish old man, why should they both have to walk? The donkey is strong,on the donkeys back they belong. So, the very next day, that's what the old man did, he rode, the boy walked, people said, what about the kid! That old man is so selfish, the child is too small, This is not good, not good at all. So the next day he thought, I don't like all the talk, I'll let the boy ride, and I will just walk. Someone didn't like it, said, that's just not right, the man is too old for walking, I can't take the sight. The next day, both were riding on the donkeys back, some cried out, animal abuse! he'll have an attack! An old man, and a boy were walking one day... You just can't please everyone!
