A donkey pack team took a break by the river. The old donkey who led the team asked his followers to unload the goods from the donkey's back. He walked to Agudengba who was passing by and said hello. The donkeys were drinking water by the river.

At this time, the weak old gray donkey told Mahu, the donkey he met by chance:

This is the last work of our donkey team. After carrying this batch of goods, these donkeys will be sent to the market for sale, and some will face killing. Donkeys have a bad reputation and have been disliked for some reason since ancient times, not to mention the words that mean killing: "dragon meat on top, donkey meat on the bottom", or donkey hide gelatin made from donkey skin. Other words about donkeys are mostly derogatory or joking. Such as: Guizhou donkey has poor skills, thin donkey poops hard, kills the donkey by removing the grinding mill, the donkey's mouth is not the same as the horse's, good intentions are mistaking the donkey's liver and lungs, borrowing the donkey from the slope, riding the donkey to find the donkey, the donkey's temper, etc. There are many slang terms for making fun of donkeys in the Northeast, such as "donkey balls and pony balls" to describe second-rate people, "lazy donkeys are either feces or urine" to describe lazy people, "playing donkey" to describe disobedient children, and tactful people. "Donkey dung and eggs are bright on both sides"... Even Zhang Guolao still rides backwards when riding a donkey!

Donkey Mahu said with a smile: Don't be so pessimistic. Contemporary people often call themselves

"Donkey friend" is a friendly enough word.

The old gray donkey still said sadly: I am old, I have seen through the world, and I have also seen the dangers of people's hearts. We unlucky donkeys, who did we offend whom? Donkeys are like slaves, exploited and oppressed all their lives. As we get older, the last part of our lives is the fear of seeing the barbecue restaurants and hot pot cities that fill the streets. Knives are being sharpened there and fireworks are going on. A donkey, raised for three years,

It can be sold and slaughtered. Then it became "people are for the sword and I am for the fish and meat". Even if some people praise donkeys for being "hard-working", when they eat donkey meat in sauce, they will definitely say: it tastes good. Compassion and pity for the donkey are just pretentious.

The old gray donkey sang the song "Donkey Friends":

 

There are white clouds floating in the blue sky,

The green meadows are filled with flowers.

We are a group of travel friends,

We gather together.

We look the same:

White eye sockets, white lips, white belly,

All hair is black,

The body shape is large and round,

Often half-covered in mud.

 

We went up the mountain and climbed the valley,

We work in the fields,

from morning to night,

We act like cows and horses,

The wind comes and the rain comes, I leave early and come back late,

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

The tastelessness of life,

Let us be disappointed about the future.

Compared with cattle and horses, we

More like a rebellious child,

Irritable, arrogant and angry.

 

We don’t want to accept the consequences,

We are not willing to be enslaved by others,

When we plow we look left and right,

We get lazy and slippery while carrying dung.

Once the reins are taken off,

We run and jump like crazy,

Like a young man getting drunk in a nightclub,

Indulging in short-term freedom and frivolity,

Show your rebelliousness and uninhibitedness.

 

We are old, we are old,

I lost my special skills,

I can only drift around,

The long escape that lasted for more than ten years began.

Travel friends have experienced many things.

Slowly understand the world,

Faced with the arrogance and prejudice of the world,

Friends, let us move forward together,

Let’s pursue the final happiness of the rest of our lives together.
