Want to please every one?

One day a man was going to market with his son and his horse. They met a couple on the way.

"Why walk when you have an horse to ride?" called out the husband, "seat the boy on the horse."

"I would like that," said the boy, "help me up father."

And the father did that willingly.

Soon they met another couple. "How shameful of you!" cried the woman, "let your father ride, won't he be tired?"

So, the boy got down and the father rode the horse. Again they marched on.

"Poor boy", said the next person they met, "why should the lazy father ride while his son is walking?"

So, the boy got onto the horse too. As they went on, they met some travelers.

"How cruel of them!" They are up to kill the poor horse." cried one of the travelers.

Hearing this, the father and the son got down. Now they decided to carry the horse on their shoulders. As they did so, the travelers broke into laughter.

Moral:You can not please everyone.
