One Cannot Please Everybody

Mother understood the problem of Bini and told him that again he was deviating from his goal of clearing his exams with flying colors. He was again not concentrating in his studies instead he was bothered to please his friends. Her mother told him that friends are important in life but not on the cost of his studies and Career.

Again they started walking then they met two people who were conversing between them how could the lazy father was riding while his son was walking. So, the boy got onto the donkey too. As they went on, they met some travelers who told them that they were very cruel and they would kill the poor donkey. On hearing that, the father and the son got down. Now they decided to carry the donkey  on their shoulders. As they did so, the travelers broke into laughter. The laughter frightened the donkey.He broke free and galloped away.
