Once, there was a farmer named Hari who had two pet animals. One was Derek, a donkey and another was Durk, a dog. They were very faithful for their master but their master was very cruel towards them and always beat them without any reason. One day, the master and Derek and Durk were sleeping fast asleep. Suddenly, Durk heard a noise coming from outside. Durk woke Derek up and informed. “There are thieves outside. We must warn our master; otherwise, they will steal things from our house,” said the donkey. The dog replied, “Dear friend, I warn you do not wake the master up.
He would not appreciate your act.” But the donkey did not heed his advice and brayed loudly. The thieves ran away, but the master woke up. Annoyed at being woken up in the night, he gave the donkey a good thrashing. The sad dog consoled his friend, “That is why I was telling you not to wake up the master.”
