Ron Reeds brings to life Aesop's timeless fable "The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey," exploring how trying to please everyone leads to pleasing no one. The story follows a father and son's journey to market with their donkey, where their attempts to accommodate everyone's criticism lead to disaster.

• A man and his son initially walk alongside their donkey to market
• A countryman criticizes them for not riding the animal
• When the boy rides, they're criticized for making the father walk
• When the father rides, women shame him for making his son trudge along
• When both ride, townspeople accuse them of overloading the donkey
• Their final solution—carrying the tied-up donkey—ends in tragedy
• The fable concludes with the moral: "Please all and you will please none"

Please give us a five-star rating, a good review, and share Ron Reads with someone you know who is in desperate need.
