    Once upon a time, there was a wild donkey and a tame donkey.

    The wild donkey was thin and small. He spent his life outdoors. The grass on the hill was his food all year round. Sometimes, he had to walk miles to find fresh water and at night there was always danger from wolves. The tame donkey was fat and strong. During summer he ate the rich grass while in winter he had corn and hay(干草)to eat. There was always freshwater for him to drink and at night he stayed safely in a stable(马).

    The wild donkey always wished he could live like the tame donkey.

    One day, the wild donkey was looking for grass on the hill. Looking down, he saw the tame donkey walking slowly along the road, carrying lots of wood. As he watched, the tame donkey stopped to eat some grass by the roadside. Suddenly, his owner began to beat him with a stick.

    "I've changed my mind about your way of life," thought the wild donkey. "I see that you have to pay heavily for the food they give you."
