What a joke... An old woman, a girl and a donkey were going to town. The girl rode on the donkey and the old woman walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old woman was walking and the girl was riding. The woman and girl thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, she makes that little girl walk." They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The girl and woman said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story; "If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass good-bye."
