The Foolish Donkey

ONE DAY, A FARMER LET THE DONKEY LOOSE AT NIGHT, SO THAT HE COULD GRAZE THE FIELDS. AS THE DONKEY WAS EATING, HE BEFRIENDED A FOX. THE FOX SAID, "LET US GO TO THAT MAIZE FIELDS AND ENJOYED MORE FOOD". THE DONKEY AGREED. AS THEY WERE GRAZING, THE DONKEY TURNED TO  THE FOX AND SAID, "I FEEL LIKE SINGING."

"ARE YOU FOOLISH? YOU WILL  WAKE  THE FARMER OF THIS FIELD," THE FOX SAID IN HIS HUSH VOICE. THE DONKEY DID NOT LISTEN TO THE FOX. JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN, THE FOX LEFT HIM AND WENT TO HIDE BEHIND THE NEARBY BUSHES. WITH THE LOUD BRAYING OF THE DONKEY, THE FARMER OF THE MAIZE FIELD COMES RUNNING. THEY SPOTTED THE DONKEY AND BEAT HIM UP BLUE.
