The Clever Boy
A man with his donkey carrying two sacks of wheat was on his way to the market. after a little while he was tired and they rested under a tree. when he woke up from his nap he could not see the donkey and started searching for the donkey everywhere.
On the way he met a boy, he asked the boy," have you seen my donkey?" the boy aksed , "is the donkey's left eye blind, his right foot lame and is he carrying load of wheat?" The man was happy and said , "yes exactly ! where have you seen it?" the boy answered " i haven't seen it"!
This made the man very angry and he took the boy to the village chief for punishment. the judge asked , "dear boy, if you had not seen the donkey, how could you describe it? " the boy answered , "i saw the tracks of a donkey and the right and left tracks were different from each other. i understood that the donkey that passed there was a limping. and the grass on the right side of the road was eaten but the grass on the left was not.
from that i understood that his left eye was blind. there were wheat seeds scattered on the ground and i understood that he must have been carrying a load of wheat. the judge understood the boy's cleverness and told the man to forgive the boy.
