Once upon a time there was an old farmer who had a horse which was almost as old as himself.
One day, he set out one morning with his son to sell the horse before it died. Both father and son walked
because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired.
On the way, they met two men who said, "Why are you walking, farmer? You have a horse. It's a
long way to market."'rhe farmer knew that this was true, so he rode on the horse while his son walked.
then they met two old women who said,"What are you doing up there, farmer? Can't you see how tired
the boy is?" So the farmer got down,’and then his son rode instead. Next, three old men stopped them,
and one old man said, "Why are you walking, farmer? Get up, it's too hot for an old man like you to walk
today.”So the farmer got up behind his son, and they rode on. Some time later,a young woman passed
them. "Why aren't you walking?" she asked, "It isn't far to the market. Give your poor horse a rest."So
the farmer and his son got down once again. It is a fact that you cannot please all the people all the time.
