A father and son were going in a village, and the father was sitting on the donkey, and the son was leading the animal.
The villagers said: what a father, poor son is walking and he is sitting on the donkey. The duo heard this, and exchanged the positions, and continued going.
The villagers said: what a son, he is sitting on the animal and the old father is made to walk. The duo heard this, and then, both sat on the donkey, and continued the journey.
Seeing this the villagers said: what are the kind of these cruel people burdening the poor donkey.
The duo heard this, and both started walking with the donkey's neck chain in their hands.
The villagers saw this and again started saying: these are fools, they don't know how to make use of donkey.
The duo heard this, and lifted the donkey and then kept it on their shoulders and carrying the animal started walking further.
The villagers said: it seems the donkey is dead.
