DECISION

     We often have questions in life  and we ask people what would they do  and then there are conflicting answers .Now a days if we do google search we will get some answers  and that may not be the same . So this short story is related to that. 

    The story is from India but could be happening anywhere . In a small town there lived a man  and his family . They wanted to to distant bigger town to do some business  buy and sale things . So the man and his son started walking to attend the  market. They had their donkey with them to carry some of the stuffs' they started they were walking along the side of the donkey. They saw a town 'wise man'. As he approached  and saw them walking he stopped  and told them that they were stupid not to ride on the donkey  and suggested that one of you can get on the donkey . So the father mounted on the donkey. The sun was rising in the sky  and temperature was increasing and they saw a lady who was mother. She stopped  and told the father 'Are you not ashamed of asking this poor small child to walk in this summer heat and you- an adult riding on the donkey?' So the father got down  and the son mounted the donkey and started riding . After a short time they saw older man  and he stopped by  and stated 'how come poor father is walking and a young man -the son is riding ?" So now the father and son did not know what to do. They decided that they both can ride the donkey. As they started walking they saw a priest . He stopped them and made a comment that they will go to hell as they have not cared for the animal  and are riding on him both at the same time . So now they decides to carry the donkey by lifting it on their shoulders  and the donkey started kicking  and now they were approaching a small bridge . The donkey was kicking and they were forcing it be carried  and in that confusion the donkey fell in the water.

    So the moral of the story is 'listen to all the advice  and they do what YOU think is right .
