Once, a man owned a donkey and a dog. One day, the man was returning from the town with his animals. The donkey was carrying many sacks on his back. All three were tired and hungry. After some time, they stopped at a meadow to rest. The man lay down under a tree and fell asleep. The donkey started eating the grass. The dog said to the donkey, “Please bend down a little. I want to take some food from the bag on your back, for I am very hungry.” The donkey said, “Let our master wake up. He will give you your food.” The dog quietly lay down. Suddenly, a wolf came to the meadow. He pounced upon the donkey. The donkey shouted, “Friend, please help me!” The dog said to him, “Let our master wake up. Then I will save you.”
