HOPE

Once there was an old Donkey which lived with a great hope. The Washerman was getting old and he could not work, so he untied the donkey and let it go. But the donkey refused to go from there and stood outside the door of the washerman's house.As the donkey was not working, the washerman refused to feed it also. On the other hand , he would beat the donkey with a stick because it would keep on braying all the time.

The washerman's dog seeing all this, asked the donkey why he is taking all this beating and continuing to stay there. Instead why it did not run away from there. The donkey said," I have heard the washerman telling his daughter, that you continue to refuse every groom i show you, if you continue to do so, I will in the end get you married to this donkey only". So, the donkey says I am hoping for the day when the washerman will get his daughter married to me.

This is how we human beings wait for only good things to happen in the future, a life without sorrow, always young without disease or death for the body.
