A man bought a donkey (驴) at the market one day and took him home. Now the man had some donkeys already. ▲
One of the donkeys was very strong and brave. Another kept active for a while but quickly tired. One donkey was very lazy. He hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he possibly could all day long. When the other animals were being loaded up (装货) he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load.
The man led the new donkey into the stable (马廐) yard. For a while he stood sniffing (嗅) at his new friends. Then, he ran to the lazy donkey quickly and began feeding comfortably at his side.
Though it was late in the day, the man led the new donkey out of the yard right away, straight back to the market. “It is only ten minutes since you bought him. You don’t know him enough,” said the donkey seller.
“I don’t need to try him any more,” replied the man. “I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself. Take him away and give me my money back. I can do without donkeys like him.”
