Once there was an old farmer, with a horse which was almost as old as himself. He set out with his young son one morning to sell the horse before it died. Father and son walked, because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired.
They met two men on the road who said, “Why are you walking, farther? You have a horse. It’s a long way to be the market.” The farmer knew this was true, so he rode on the horse, while his son walked.
Then they met two ladies, “ What are you doing up there, father? Can’t you see how tired your boy is?” So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead.
Next, three old men stop them. One said, “Why are you walking, father? 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.
