Once upon a time, a man was going down a hill track with his donkey. He was following the donkey with a rod in his hand. The donkey jogged down carefully over some distance. But then, suddenly, it left the track and strayed aside. Its owner tried his best to drive it back to the track but the stubborn beast did not obey. As a result, it reached the edge of a cliff that overlooked a deep canyon. The owner was worried to see the donkey in danger. He was at a loss to understand what to do! He caught hold of its tail just as it was about to leap over the edge of the cliff. The man heaved with all his might, to pull the donkey from moving ahead, but all in vain. It did not budge even an inch backwards. So, the man let it go saying, “O foolish donkey, your stubborn behaviour led you to trouble today.” The stubborn donkey fell off the cliff to its death.
