Joe and the Thieves

Joe's donkey died. He took his last money and went to the market to buy another one.

He was going home with the new donkey. On the way two thieves saw him. They thought of stealing the donkey. When Joe was not looking, one of them removed the rope from the donkey's neck and put it in his own neck. The other thief took the donkey to the market and sold it.

When Joe arrived home and looked behind at the donkey he saw a man "the thief" instead of the donkey. He was amazed.

“I bought a donkey how did it become a man?” Joe thought! Then he asked the thief,
"Who are you?"

The thief answered, "I didn't respect my mother, she cursed me and I became a donkey. She took me to the market and sold me. Then you bought me. Because of this I became a man again".

The next day Joe went to the market to buy another donkey. Sure enough he saw the same donkey as the one he had bought. He whispered in the donkey’s ear, “ You’ve been a naughty boy again!”
