The grandfather, grandson, and their donkey...

Note: This story was related to me by Kelvin, a Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Youth Section member. It was related to him by Senator Datuk Sim Kheng Hui. Credit given to both of them.

Once upon a time in China, there was a grandfather who was making a visit to several villages on foot with his grandson and a donkey. Upon reaching Village A, the villagers there laughed at the grandfather for walking there instead of riding on the donkey. So when the grandfather departed for Village B with his grandson, he followed the advice of the villagers of Village A and rode on the donkey while his grandson walked. However, upon reaching Village B, he was criticized by the villagers of Village B for being cruel to the grandson by making the young boy walk while he rode on the donkey. When the grandfather departed to Village C, he decided to let his grandson ride on the donkey while he walked. Unfortunately, when he reached Village C, the villagers there criticized the grandson for making his elderly grandfather walk while he rode on the donkey. So when they departed for Village D, the grandfather decided to ride on the donkey together with his grandson. Unfortunately, the grandfather was criticized by the villagers at Village D for being cruel to the donkey by abusing it.

Moral of the story: We can never please everybody…

Make sense???
