The Dog and the Donkey

PART 1 (property of www.english-for-students.com and the author of the story)

There lived a dog and a donkey in a house of a rich man.  The dog guarded his house and the donkey carried loads for him.
It was a hot afternoon.  The dog was sleeping under the shady veranda. There was some noise outside.  The dog just lifted up his head and went back to sleep.
The donkey asked " Why don't you bark.  It could be thieves".  The dog replied, "Mind your own business".  But the donkey would not listen.  He wanted to save his master from thieves.  he started to bray.
The master who was sound asleep got wild with the donkey and came running out with  a stick and gave hard beatings to the donkey.

MORAL : It is always better to mind our own business.
Part 2

Biglang may kumalabog sa gilid ng bahay, malapit sa bintana.  Isang magnanakaw ang patihayang bumagsak mula sa bubungan.  Nagulat ito sa ginawa ng rich man sa donkey kaya siya nawalan ng balanse at tuluyang nahulog.
Takot na tumakbong papalayo sa bahay ang nagtangkang magnanakaw.
Buti na lang sa ingay na ginawa ng donkey at hindi tuluyang napagnakawan ang rich man.

ARAL : Ang tunay na maasahan, hindi man niya takdang gawain pero kanyang ginagawa kung sadyang kinakailangan.
