Keshava,the washerman had a donkey.They worked together all day,&

Keshava would pour out his heart to the doneky.One day,Keshava was walking home
with the donkey when he felt tired. He tied the donkey to a tree and sat down to rest
for a while, near a school. A window was open, and through it, a teacher could be
heard scolding the students. Here I am, trying to turn you donkeys into human
beings, but you just wont study ! As soon as Keshava heard these words, his ears
pricked up. A man who could actually turn donkeys into humans ! This was the
answer to his prayers. Impatiently, he waited for school to be over that day. when
everyone had gone home, & only the teacher remained behind to check some papers,
Keshava entered the classroom.

m

How can I help you? asked the teacher. Keshava scratched his head and said,
I heard what you said to the children. This donkey is my companion. If you made it
human, we could have such good times together. The teacher decided to trick
Keshava. He pretended to think for a while and then said, Give me six months & it
will cost you a thousand rupees. The washerman agreed and rushed home to get the
money. He then left the donkey in the teachers care.

After the six months were up, Keshava went to the teacher. The teacher had
been using the donkey for his own work. Not wanting to give it up, he said, Oh, your
donkey became so clever that it ran away. He is the headman of the next village.
When Keshava reached the next village he found the village elders sitting under a
tree, discussing serious problems. How surprised they were when Keshava marched
up to the headman, grabbed his arm and said, How dare you ? You think you are so
clever that you ran away? Come home at once !

The headman understood someone had played a trick on Keshava. I am not

your donkey ! he said. Go find the sage in the forest. Keshava found the sage sitting
under a tree with his eyes closed, deep in meditation. He crept up and grabbed the
sages beard. Come back home now ! he shouted. The startled sage somehow
calmed Keshava. When he heard what had happened, he had a good laugh. Then he
told the washerman kindly, The teacher made a fool of you. Your donkey must be
still with him. Go and take it back from him. Try to make some real friends, who will
talk with you and share your troubles. A donkey will never be able to do that !
Keshava returned home later that day with his donkey, sadder and wiser.
