| [00:01.04]The Miller and His Son磨坊主和儿子 [00:03.88]A miller and his son were one day taking their donkey to the market for sale. [00:10.90]On the road they met a man riding a horse who said to them, [00:14.82]"How stupid you are; you have a donkey and neither of you ride him!" [00:19.67]The father immediately told his son to mount the donkey. [00:23.38]After a little while they met a man who was sitting in his cart full of vegetables; [00:28.54]He shouted to the son, [00:30.51]"Shame on you! A young man like you riding a donkey while your father has to walk!" [00:37.10]When the son heard this he jumped down immediately and gave his place to his father. [00:42.88]After a few more miles they met a country woman who said to the old man, [00:47.50]"You must have a heart of stone. [00:50.35]You sit on the donkey and travel in comfort [00:53.61]while your son has to travel on this hard road!" [00:57.03]When the father heard this, he told his son to get on the donkey with him. [01:01.95]A shepherd who was guarding his flock on the road side, [01:05.44]looked at them and said, "Oh, the poor donkey! [01:09.52]It will certainly collapse under such a weight!" [01:12.80]Father and son got off the donkey and the lad said to his father, [01:17.41]"What shall we do now? Should we carry the animal on our shoulder? [01:22.21]Perhaps in this way the people will be satisfied!" [01:25.85]But the wise father said to his son, [01:28.47]"You see, my son, that you can never please everyone; [01:31.97]so always do your duties as you think best and let evil-doers say what they may."
