  1. A Story

    One day a man was driving a donkey along the road.

    One day a man was driving a donkey along the road. He galloped as fast as he could along the road. When he was just at the point of falling over a cliff, his master ran up and seizing him by the tail endeavoured to pull him back, but the donkey resisting and pulling the contrary way, the man let go his hold, saying "Well Jack if you will have your own way I cannot help it, but it is the way to destruction".
