A man wanted to sell his son’s donkey because he needs to buy his wife’s
medicine who is very ill. He brought the donkey to the market. First, he went to a
friend’s store.
“Could you buy my donkey?” he asked. “No, I don’t need a donkey,” the
friend replied.
So, the man went to Francis’ bookshop. “Could you buy my donkey?” he
asked. “No, I even have a truck that carries my goods,” Francis said.
Then, he saw Peter’s pet shop. “Your donkey is old enough for a pet,”
complained by Peter.
As the man tries to find someone who could buy his donkey, he met the
baker’s wife. “My husband is looking for a donkey to carry the sack of flour from
the port,” she said. The man visits the baker and sold his son’s donkey. He said,
“I’m so happy, I will now go to the market and buy medicine.”
