Once upon a time, a grandfather and his beloved grandsons spent a delightful summer holiday together. They were embarking on a journey from their grandfather’s village to return the boys home to their parents. Accompanying them was the donkey that Grandfather often brought along, a symbol of their shared adventures and memories.

Since three of them needed to rest, Grandfather and Grandsons decided to stop in the nearest town, so the journey wouldn’t seem so long. As they reached the town, grandfather rode on the donkey, and his grandson walked happily beside him when they suddenly heard voices saying, “What a rude man! He rides the donkey while his poor grandsons are walking!” 

Grandfather got down from the donkey and passed through the town, both walking beside the donkey. They passed by some boys who said, “What a group of fools! They have a donkey, and they’re still walking!” Hearing this, Grandfather and Grandsons decided to get on the donkey to pass through the next town, but again, they listened to the town's opinion: “What terrible people! They’re going to kill that poor donkey!” 

As they left the town, Grandsons rode on the donkey while Grandfather walked beside him, and the townspeople said, “How inconsiderate these boys are! They sit comfortably on the donkey while his poor old grandfather walks!” When they reached the end of their journey, Grandfather, with a twinkle in his eye, thought of an important lesson that he wanted to teach his Grandsons: No matter how well you try to do something, you can’t make everyone happy. That’s why you must always form your opinion and do what you feel is right.
