Once upon a time a washerman(洗衣工) had two donkeys(毛驴). Let’s say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.
Donkey –A felt it was very 36 and could do better than the other. It always tried to 37 more load(担子) and walk fast in front of the washerman.
Innocent(无辜的) Donkey-B was 38, so it would walk normally, regardless of the washerman’s 39. After a period of time, the washerman started urging Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.
Donkey-B, unable to walk fast, got continuous 40 from the washerman. It cried and said personally to Donkey-A, “Dear friend, only we two are here, why do we have to 41 with each other? We can carry 42 load at normal speed.
That made Donkey-A more energetic and it told the washerman that it could carry more load and 43 faster.
The washerman started 44 Donkey-B to make it run faster. During the following days, Donkey-A carried more load and started running even faster.
But it was hard for Donkey-B to 45 that way. The washerman was disappointed, 46 he punished Donkey-B terrible, and finally it fell down 47.
Then the load of Donkey-B was also being 48 by Donkey-A, and still it had to run fast. Finally due to great tiredness it got tired and started feeling the 49.
But the washerman 50 more from Donkey-A. It tried its best, but couldn’t 51 his owner’s expectations. The washerman got angry with Donkey-A also and started 52 it to take more load. But it couldn’t come to the owner’s 53. Finally the day came when due to frustration(失望) the washerman killed Donkey-A and began 54 some other donkeys.
Think all colleagues(同事)are just the same and that everyone is 55. Don’t feel happy when your colleague is under pressure.
