Unknown One Can't Please the World

And they pull the donkey onto the ground, and one ties its front legs, and another the hind, and then they took him on a staff among themselves, and so carry him. And when people who were meeting them and reaching them started now even more to laugh and wonder, then the father, suddenly throwing the donkey to the ground and starting to untying him, yelled: "Each is man stupider than this donkey who wants to please the entire world. I will do with my donkey as I was first doing by my own will"

One Can't Please the World
A man, going from the city to home, was riding a donkey, while his son, a lad of ten to fifteen years, was going aside him by foot. A man met them, and said: "It is not right, brother, that you are riding, while the child is going by foot; your legs are stronger than his." Then the father rides off the donkey, and puts the son onto it. Somewhat further, another man met them, and said: "It is not nice, lad, that you are riding, while your father is going by foot, your legs are younger."
