There was a donkey who didn't know how to sing. But yet he loves to sing. This donkey work with the washer man all there. In the night he would wander around in search of food. He returns back in the morning.
Wandering around the fields, he became a friend of a fox. The fox also needed the donkey's help to steal in the fields at night. The donkey steals the fields very effectively. He enters the fields and eat watermelons. The fox also loves watermelons very much. Every night they meet each other and enter several fields and eats something. In the morning both the friends return back to their home.
One day while they were out, the donkey stood in the middle of the field and looked towards the sky. He thought for a while and said loudly "oh see how beautiful this full moon looks. It looks so wonderful. It's such a pleasant weather. I am so happy that I feel like singing away". Hearing this the fox was stunned and said to the donkey"you fool! you are in someone else's field and trying to steal their food. One must steal quietly. Nobody should know about it. How can anyone sing while stealing anything?".
The donkey said "who will us at this hour? Everyone must me sleeping peacefully. I feel like singing a song right now. Tell me my friend which song should I sing?". The fox was very angry with the donkey. He said angrily "have you gone mad or what? on hearing your song, the watchmen sleeping here will get up. They will run and come here. They will beat us up with their sticks. Look, instead you quietly eat these sweet watermelons . Besides what will you get if you sing?". The donkey said "oh friend you live in a jungle so you don't understand songs. You have no ear for music. Now you see. Just see how I sing. Here my song and say if it is as sweet as the watermelons in this field".
The fox understood that nobody could stop the donkey now. He understood that it would be best if he ran away from there. He told the donkey "dear friend! you sing if you wish to. But before that I will go out from the field and keep a watch on the guards around. You can sing after I go alright?".
Then in a moment the fox jumped over the fence and was out of site. The donkey sang in a high pitch. Hearing the loud braying of the donkey, the watchman got up. Taking his stick, he ran towards the donkey. He started thrashing the donkey. With this the donkey fell on the ground. Then the watchman tied a heavy wood around the neck of the donkey and started hitting him over and over again. The donkey was lying on the ground, groaning and moaning in the pain.
After a while he gathered strength. Slowly slowly with pain he got up and started to walk with the limb. The fox was standing outside the fence and watching. When the donkey came close, the fox said "oh great and mighty singer, you sang very well. Looks like the watchman likes your song very much. That is why I think he has even given you a reward. Hmm, he has even put a medal around your neck". Hearing this, the donkey started singing in pain.
--The End--
