The old man drives the donkey (joke)
In ancient times, there was an old man who lived in the mountains and forests, and there was no road in and out, so he relied on a donkey to carry things. On this day, the old man drove the donkey into the city to sell firewood, exchanged a few pennies, and bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and planned to go home.
The old man went up the mountain, the mountain road was rugged and difficult, and the donkey walked slowly. The old man was in a hurry, so he picked up the whip and whipped it twice on the donkey's buttocks, urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's getting dark." ”
The donkey was in pain, and quickened his pace, but unexpectedly stepped on a stone, slipped under his feet, fell to the ground, and scattered the goods he was carrying on the ground. Seeing this, the old man was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "You stupid donkey, you are really urging more and more slowly, and if you urge again, you will be staggered!"
The old man scolded as he picked up the donkey and put the goods back on. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the old man was anxious, so he said to the donkey, "We must go quickly, or we will have to spend the night in the mountains." ”
The donkey seemed to understand the old man's words and quickened his pace. But he didn't go far before he stepped on a piece of slippery dirt and fell to the ground again. This time, the goods rolled farther, and the old man snorted angrily.
At this moment, a man who looked like a scholar came from the mountain road, and when he saw the old man and the donkey in embarrassment, he couldn't help laughing. When the old man saw that someone was laughing at him, his face couldn't hold back, so he said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Haven't you ever seen a donkey driver?"
The scholar put away his smile and bowed his hand and said, "Don't blame the old man, Xiaosheng just thinks it's funny, and he has no malice." May I ask my husband, why does this donkey fall so many times?"
The old man sighed and said, "Alas, it's all my fault for being a donkey, who has a slow temperament, and when he urges, he is in a hurry, and when he is in a hurry, he makes a mistake." No, I fell again. ”
When the scholar heard this, he laughed and said, "My husband's words are wrong. I don't think there's anything wrong with this donkey. It's you, my husband, who is so anxious that you are messed up. In my opinion, wouldn't it be beautiful for you to slow down, walk with the donkey, and enjoy the breeze and moon in the mountains?"
The old man listened to the scholar's words, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You are right, I, an old man, are indeed too anxious. Come, let's walk slowly, talk as we go. ”
So, the old man and the scholar walked side by side, talking and laughing along the way, and the donkey also walked steadily and no longer fell. It was getting late, and the two of them finally returned home in the night.
The next day, the old man talked about what happened last night, and everyone laughed. Since then, the old man has also gotten rid of his impatience and learned to walk with a donkey and enjoy the fun of life. And the scholar's words have also become a joke in the village, which has been passed down to this day.
Let's say that after that day, every time the old man drove the donkey into the city, he slowed down and was no longer impatient. The donkey also seemed to feel the change of the old man, and walked more and more steadily. Sometimes, the old man will hum a few small songs, and the mood is particularly comfortable.
When the people in the village saw it, they all said that the old man had changed as if he was a different person, and he was no longer as anxious as before. Someone asked the old man curiously: "Uncle, why have you become so leisurely now?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's all the credit of that scholar." He taught me to slow down and enjoy life. Now I understand that life is like driving a donkey, you can't rush it, you have to take it slowly, so you can taste the fun. ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded yes and sighed. Since then, the people in the village have learned to slow down and enjoy the beauty of life. And the story of the old man driving the donkey has also become a good story in the village, passed down from generation to generation and will never be erased.
At this point, the joke story of the old man driving the donkey has been told. Ladies and gentlemen, have you also learned something from this? Is it the philosophy of life, or the wisdom of life?
