    The two of them went on the ass and it was not long until they met another man. The man said, "It is a shame for you to be on the ass." Then the father and son carried the ass on their shoulders and as they were crossing a bridge the ass tumbled from their shoulders and fell into the river and was drowned. Then they began to cry and say to one another,
    "We did what everyone told us."
