In a quiet village, there lived a mischievous donkey known for its cunning and troublesome behavior. This donkey had a knack for causing trouble and playing pranks, much to the annoyance of its owner and the villagers.
In the same village, there was a man named Ali who was struggling to find employment. Frustrated with his situation, Ali decided to buy a cart and use the donkey to start a transportation service. He believed that this venture would finally bring him some financial stability.
With his hard-earned savings, Ali went to the market and purchased a cart. However, fate had a twist in store for him. Unbeknownst to Ali, the donkey he bought was the same mischievous donkey notorious for its tricks. The owner, tired of the donkey’s behavior, sold it at a fraction of its value to Ali.
Excited about his new venture, Ali brought the donkey home and treated it with a big bottle of cola as a gesture of goodwill. Little did he know that this simple act would trigger a series of unexpected events. As the donkey saw the cola bottle, it started making strange noises as if it were in distress. It seemed to be mimicking the sound of someone in pain, making Ali worried that something might be seriously wrong.
Thinking that the donkey might be thirsty, Ali offered it some water. Surprisingly, the donkey’s distress immediately turned into elation, and it began to sway its head happily. Bewildered by the donkey’s behavior, Ali suddenly realized that the donkey was acting this way to get treats. He cleverly offered a half-empty cola bottle to the donkey, pretending it contained water, and the donkey swiftly drank the entire contents in one gulp.
While the donkey enjoyed its “drink,” Ali’s thoughts turned to the impending challenge of feeding the donkey. He figured that if the donkey was willing to “drink” cola, it might also be interested in “eating” something unusual. So, Ali presented a bottle of ketchup to the donkey, and true to his expectation, the donkey imitated signs of hunger. Ali ingeniously placed the remaining ketchup near the donkey’s mouth, and the donkey devoured the entire bottle.
Amused by the donkey’s antics, Ali hadn’t realized that his own resources were depleting rapidly. The donkey, acting out of pure trickery, had consumed all the cola and ketchup that Ali had bought for himself and his family.
The following morning, Ali woke up determined to embark on his transportation business. He began loading the cart with his goods, and as soon as the donkey sensed its role in this activity, it promptly fell to the ground, feigning exhaustion. Ali, frustrated and anxious to get going, tried everything to get the donkey to stand up, but it seemed like a lost cause.
Ali started to think that maybe the donkey actually needed a refreshing drink to muster its strength. He took a cola bottle and showed it to the donkey, hoping that the donkey would spring to its feet in excitement. As expected, the donkey’s act changed once again, and it stood up immediately, ready to take on its role in the cart.
Now, Ali was faced with a dilemma. He had only a single bottle of cola left, which he intended to save for himself after a hard day’s work. However, seeing the donkey’s behavior, he thought that perhaps he needed the cola more than he did. With a heavy heart, Ali opened the bottle and gave it to the donkey, which gleefully gulped down the contents.
Ali’s realization hit him hard. He understood that the donkey’s actions were not driven by genuine need but by calculated manipulation. He had been fooled by the donkey’s clever tricks and cunning behavior, causing him to spend his resources on satisfying the donkey’s insatiable desires.
Determined to change his fortunes, Ali took a piece of sturdy wood and gently prodded the donkey to stand. As soon as the donkey sensed the prodding, it jumped up, revealing its deceptive act. Ali’s frustration had turned into determination, and he decided to put an end to the donkey’s mischievous games.
Guided by a mix of exasperation and innovation, Ali began the journey with the donkey pulling the cart. Along the way, the donkey tried various tactics to repeat its tricks, but Ali was vigilant. The donkey’s behavior had changed, and it realized that its old tricks wouldn’t work anymore.
As they continued their journey, a police car appeared on the horizon. The donkey’s instinctual mischief kicked in, and it suddenly pretended to collapse on the ground again. Ali, however, wasn’t fooled this time. He knew the donkey’s antics all too well and quickly managed to keep the donkey standing.
The police car passed by without incident, and Ali let out a sigh of relief. He had outwitted the mischievous donkey and had finally gained the upper hand. With determination and hard work, Ali successfully carried out his transportation business, turning his fortunes around.
Meanwhile, the donkey’s extended family had gathered to hear about its antics. The cunning donkey shared its tale of deceit and tricks, but the smaller, younger donkey among them had a different perspective. This young donkey saw the consequences of its relative’s behavior and was inspired to take a different path.
As the mischievous donkey’s tales were met with laughter and amusement, the young donkey made a silent vow to avoid the same fate.
