This Story Proves that You Can't Please Everyone

Impossible to Please Everyone

Long ago on a small farm outside a remote country village
there lived a father and son who grew and sold vegetables to earn their
living.

Each Saturday morning they would take their produce, by
donkey, to the local market about 2 miles away.

One Saturday morning they both rode the donkey with the produce on their backs. The people on route looked at the father and son on the donkey and said, "Look at the two of them riding that poor donkey to market. How lazy they are."

The next Saturday the father rode the donkey and the son
walked. Once again the people on route said, " Look at that
lazy father riding while his poor son walks to market."

On the next trip the son rode the donkey and the
father walked and again the people said, " Look at that lazy boy
riding the donkey to market while his poor father walks."

The father and son decided to do something different the
following Saturday. They both carried the donkey tied by its feet
to a pole placed on their shoulders.

On their way to market they overheard the people say, " Look
how they treat that poor donkey and they had the local
constable charge the father and son with cruelty to animals.
