Donkey and it’s Shadow

One day, A Donkey and his owner were walking down the road. A traveler asked , if he can hire his donkey to carry his bags.

Donkey’s owner agreed for 5 silver coins.

The traveler loaded his bags on donkey and they set off. Soon they were very tired. They decided to rest, but only shade they could find was in the donkey’s shadow.

Both men tried to sit in shadow of donkey. But there was not enough space. They began to quarrel. Traveler said he should sit in donkey’s shadow, because he paid money for it. But owner said that, it was his donkey, so he gets the shade and traveler only paid to carry his bags.

On and on they argued. While they were arguing, the donkey galloped away.

Now they had no donkey, no bags and no shade!!
