The old man loaded up the
donkey with his wares. But
instead of moving, the donkey just
sat. When he yanked on his rope,
the donkey brayed. Frustrated,
the man sat down next to his
donkey with his face buried in his
hands. Just as he was
considering his predicament,
the donkey rose and began to
walk. Bewildered, the man caught

another man heading to

of fresh vegetables.- Two words to describe his feeling:
- What his motivation is:
