This is a story about an old man and his grandson, who lived in a cabin up in the woods, and their old mule.
One day, early in the morning, they decided to go into to town.
The old man and the young boy started to walk the mule into town and they came across some men standing on a porch drinking their morning coffee. The men saw them walk by and one said, “There goes two of the most stupidest people I’ve ever seen in my life!” “They are both walking, leading that mule into town, when at least one of them could be riding!” The old man didn’t want to be considered stupid, so he go up on the mule and the little boy walked beside them.
Then, they came to a church where some people were just leaving and one of the ladies said, “My heavens, I have never seen such a cruel old man in all of my life!” “There he is riding that mule and letting that poor little boy walk his feet off to the bone!” The old man didn’t want to be considered cruel so he got down and put the little boy up on the mule.
A little further someone yells out, “Look at that mean little boy!” “There he is young and healthy, making that poor old man walk, he ought to be ashamed of himself!” The old man didn’t want the boy to be considered mean, so he hopped up behind the boy and they began to ride double.
Soon, they met an old lady who said, “I have never seen anything so terrible in my life!” “There they are, the two of them riding on one mule, don’t they know that they’re going to hurt that mule!” The old man did not want to be considered terrible, so he and the boy got down from the mule, and they began to walk again.
And, so it goes.
