Once there lived a man called Ah Gong and his son, Ah Saw . One morning they took
their donkey to the market to sell. Ah Saw was riding on the donkey until they met a man.
The man said, Shame on you! How can you let your old father walk? Ah Gong quickly
helped his son down and climbed on the donkey himself.
Soon they met another stranger. What a thoughtless father! commented the stranger.
He made his sickly son walk while he rides in comfort.
So, Ah Gong told his son to ride on the donkey with him. They continued on their way
until they met an animal lover. Have you no love for animals? he yelled at them angrily. How
can that poor animal carry the two of you? You both should be carrying it instead.
Ah Gong and his son got down and grabbed the donkey by the legs to carry it. As they
