Once, a big fair had been organized in the village. All the villagers and the children were very excited. The elders wanted to see the big games and the children ran to enjoy the different rides. But nobody came to the donkey man for rides. Sohan, the donkey man was sad. ‘Alas! I am not able to make a single penny. What will I gift my wife?’ wondered Sohan. He waited for the children to come to him for rides. The little grey donkey was watching all this. He loved his master very much. ‘How can I help my master?’ he wondered.
Then an idea struck him and he started to bray loudly. All the children were surprised to hear the noise and came running to the donkey. “What is he saying?” asked one child. Sohan joyfully said, “He is saying— come, ride me and see what fun it is!” Soon Sohan had many children queuing up to ride the donkey. He was very happy and so were the children.
