An old man and a young boy were traveling through their village with their
donkey. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.

As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame
the old man was walking and the boy was riding.

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed
positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes
that little boy walk."

They then decided they both would walk!

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk
when they had a decent donkey to ride.

So they both decided to ride the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying "How awful to
put such a big load on a poor donkey".

The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry
the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal
and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass
good-bye.
