A donkey was once chosen to carry a holy statue through the town.Crowds of people came from all over the countryside to see the procession.They lined both sides of the street,pushing and jostling to get nearer to the front.As the donkey went past all the people bowed down to pray to the statue.Some of them reached out their hands to touch it;others knelt down on their knees by the road in front of it.The donkey began to feel he was a very important animal.“Fancy all these people showing me so much respect,”he thought.“I never knew I was so powerful.To think that all this time I have been doing everything my master told me.”

    His master began to laugh loudly.“You poor stupid animal,”he said,pulling the donkey's mane to make him walk on.“The people are not interested in you. It is the statue on your back they are here to see.Come along now before I lose my temper.”
