Once upon a time there was a merchant from India who made a living selling olives in the big city. The journey from his village to the market was long, so every morning he placed the goods on the back of his inseparable grey haired donkey, and when he was ready they set off together to their destination.
Because the donkey was strong, fast and in good health, the sacks always arrived at the market in perfect condition. The merchant appreciated the daily effort of the animal and was proud of how well he worked, but to tell the truth there was one thing about him that bothered him a lot: he ate much more than any other of his kind! The reason was that because he carried so much weight he spent a lot of energy, and by spending a lot of energy he needed to continually replenish his strength. The man, a good person but very stingy, used to complain to the other traders about how expensive it was to feed him eight times a day.
- I don't know how much your donkeys eat, but of course this one eats more than an elephant... He's getting very fat and it's getting harder and harder for me to maintain him!
One night he started to review the month's profits and found that he wasn't keeping up. Angry, he put his hands on his head and began to curse.
- This gobbling donkey is my ruin! He swallowed so much that half of what I earn goes to buy alfalfa bags to satisfy his appetite. This can't go on!
Absolutely determined to find a solution, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
- Now that I think of it every day, I pass by a farm where the alfalfa grows by the bunch and... Of course, why didn't I think of it before!... I can take my greedy donkey there and let him gorge himself without spending a single coin!
The plan was pretty good, but...
- The only drawback is that the land has an owner. If I slip the donkey in and the foreman in charge of watching the land sees it, he'll call the guards and... Oh, no, they'll accuse me of trespassing on private property and I'll end up locked up in jail like a common little thief!
To achieve his purpose without taking risks, he had to perfect the maneuver.
- I know what to do! I'll buy a lion's skin, put it on the donkey, and then release him into the estate. The foreman will think it's a wild beast and won't dare do anything to it. Ho, ho, ho!
Believing that he had devised a masterful plan, he set to work, and in a few hours he obtained a beautiful orange lion's coat which he placed on the animal as if it were a huge blanket.
- Now, let me get a good look at you...
She moved away from him to observe him from different angles. She wanted to make sure he was a match!
- Up close you can tell he's a donkey in disguise, but from a distance he looks just like the king of the jungle. He's great, great, great!
When he was convinced that success was assured, he took him to the farm and put him inside the fence, well away from the entrance so that he could eat peacefully and at his leisure. He, meanwhile, hid behind a tree so as not to be discovered.
Five minutes later the foreman appeared and everything went according to plan: as soon as the man discovered that a dangerous lion was roaming about his domain he started screaming like a madman and ran away scared to death. The merchant let out a chuckle.
- Heh heh heh! He's bought it!... Yes sir, I'm a smart guy!
In view of the triumph the next day he repeated the operation. The donkey, dressed in a lion's skin, infiltrated the farm again to turn purple with alfalfa, and again, in the middle of the tasting, the foreman appeared. It goes without saying that when he saw the fearsome lion roaming freely on his land, he was completely terrified. The merchant, hidden in the undergrowth, was laughing his head off.
- Ha ha ha! Oh, how funny! The clumsy one didn't realize that this beast is more false than a leather coin! If he only knew that he was a poor donkey incapable of hurting a fly...
The scene was repeated over and over again for a week, but on the eighth day things changed: yes, the foreman ran again as if there was no tomorrow, but instead of going home to hide he decided to act bravely and ask his neighbours for help. In less than a crow, he gathered more than thirty men and women who, armed with broomsticks, agreed to go and make an example of the dreadful beast. He, of course, led the procession.
- That lion's days are numbered! We'll make him go! Come on, folks!
They crossed the field in single file and immediately arrived at the farm. When they stopped by the fence they saw with their own eyes that it was a lion with very long legs and enormous height. Why lie: everyone felt real fear and a desire to throw in the towel!
- I warned you that it was a gigantic beast, but we have to get it out of here anyway. These days she's been in the.
