Once upon a time, in a quiet village, there lived a donkey and a jackal who were the best of friends. Every night, when the world was fast asleep, they would meet up at the farm to enjoy their secret feasts. During the day, the donkey worked hard, carrying heavy loads for his owner. But when the night fell, the donkey was free to enjoy the pleasures of the farm alongside his friend, the jackal.
Nighttime Adventures at the Farm
Each night, they would sneak into the farm together. The jackal, sly and clever, would feast on the farm's hens and ducks, while the donkey happily munched on the fresh grass in the fields. It was their little routine—simple and satisfying.
After their meal, the donkey, feeling full and overjoyed, would often gaze up at the bright moon and sigh, "Oh, what a beautiful moon! I feel like singing!"
The Jackal's Warning
One night, when the donkey expressed his desire to sing, the jackal quickly warned him, "Don't do that! If you start singing, the farmers will hear us, and we'll be caught!"
But the donkey, stubborn and dreamy-eyed, didn't listen to his wise friend. "How can I stay silent when the moon is so lovely?" he said, ignoring the jackal's caution.
A Song That Spoils the Feast
Without a care in the world, the donkey opened his mouth and started singing at the top of his lungs. His loud braying echoed across the quiet night, waking up the entire farm. The jackal knew trouble was coming, and without a second thought, he ran away to save himself.
Hearing the donkey's loud song, the farmers woke up, grabbed their sticks, and rushed to the farm to see what was going on. When they saw the donkey standing there, braying away without a care, they were furious. They punished the donkey for his loud noise, sending him back home with a lesson he would never forget.
The Moral of the Story
The musical donkey learned the hard way that sometimes it's better to listen to wise advice and think before acting. His stubbornness got him into trouble, while his clever friend, the jackal, escaped without harm.
This story reminds us that there’s a time for everything—a time to be joyful and a time to be careful. Knowing when to stay silent and when to speak up is a lesson worth learning for everyone.
Moral: Always listen to good advice and think before you act, or you might end up in trouble.
