Stupid donkey is not stupid

 


Stupid donkey is not stupid

 

Because Azhuo had no money to pay the rent to the rich man, the rich man took away Azhuo's beloved donkey Ma Hu to pay off the debt.

The donkey Mahu was kept in the stable by the rich man. He was often humiliated and ridiculed by the white-hoofed horse. Because of this, the donkey Mahu often loses his temper and makes a lot of noise.

The white-hoofed horse said to the rich man: "That's a stupid donkey. Since he doesn't want to be your slave, why not sell him in the market? His meat can be used to make donkey meat sauce and donkey-hide gelatin." Or boots.”

After hearing the conversation between the white-hoofed horse and the rich man, the donkey and horse owner frantically broke through the wooden railings of the stable and ran away.

The rich man rode a white-hoofed horse to catch up. A donkey and a horse owner will definitely not be able to outrun a horse with white hoofs. Seeing that the white-hoofed horse was about to catch up with the donkey Mahu, the panicked donkey Mahu accidentally fell into a dry well.

The rich man wanted to save the donkey because he did not want to lose his wealth. However, the rich man really couldn't think of a way to rescue the donkey from the well. The white-hoofed horse said: "This stupid donkey is old. It's not worth the trouble to rescue it. Let's go and let him starve to death in this dry well."

The rich man could only curse "stupid donkey" a few times before riding away on his white-hoofed horse.

Seeing that the rich man was gone, Donkey Mahu began to think about a way to escape in the well, but he racked his brains and couldn't think of a way. He began to wail in pain, maybe he would die in this dry well.

A few hours passed, and the donkey's wailing sound attracted the attention of a young man. He was A Zhuo. The donkey Mahu told Azhuo how he escaped from the rich man's house.

Azhuo also tried his best to save the donkey that fell into the well, but none of them worked.

The donkey Ma Hu said to A Zhuo: Go find Agudengba, he is a wise man, and only he can save me.

After a while, A Zhuo and Agu Demba came. They each took a shovel.

Agudengba said to Azhuo: It seems that we can only fill up this well to save Mahu from suffering. This will prevent anyone from accidentally falling into this dry well again.

Azhuo and Agudenba held shovels and began shoveling soil into the dry well. Only then did Mahu, the donkey, realize his situation and cried miserably.

But surprisingly, after a while, the donkey calmed down. It turned out that Agudengba's good friend, the black ant, had crawled to the bottom of the well. The black ant said to Ma Hu: You will be rescued soon. He told the donkey Mahu about Agudengba's idea.

The donkey became quiet, and Azhuo curiously looked down at the bottom of the well. The sight that appeared in front of him surprised him:

When the soil shoveled into the dry well fell on the donkey's back, the donkey's reaction was amazing - it shook the soil aside and then stood on top of the shoveled soil!

Just like that, the donkey shook all the dirt shoveled on it by Adhuo and Agudengba to the bottom of the well, and then stood up again. Soon, the donkey Ma Hu triumphantly rose to the mouth of the well, and he returned to the ground amid A Zhuo's surprised expression.

Agudengba said to the donkey Mahu: "Congratulations on your return to your master Azhuo."

Adhuo said to the donkey Mahu: "I'm sorry, Mahu. That hateful rich man will not let me and you go. From now on, you can travel around the world with Agudengba."

Azhuo and Agudengba danced the "Dance of Rebirth" hand in hand:

 

When we are on the journey of life,

Sometimes it is inevitable to fall into a dry well,

The sand will fall on us,

The secret to getting out of a dry well,

Just shake off all the sediment.

Then we stand on it!

Wisdom can help us get out of trouble,

God can make us reincarnate again.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
