Do What You Think Is Right!

I received a version of the following comments recently that I have edited.

A father, son, and donkey are walking to town and pass a guy who says, “Why would both of you walk when you have a donkey, one of you needs to ride the donkey or else that’s dumb!” The father looks at his son and says “He’s right; you need to get on the donkey.”

They pass another gentleman a mile later who says “How selfish of the boy to ride while his poor old dad walks, young man you need to let your Dad ride the donkey out of respect for your elders.” The son looks at his father and says “He’s right, Dad you need to get on the donkey, I’ll walk,” and then dad gets on the donkey.

A mile later they pass another gentleman who says “what kind of father is this, to allow his poor son to walk while he rides in comfort.”

The moral of the story, do what you think is right anyway; as others will always have differing opinions and suggestions.
