Krishna, the washer man had a Donkey. They worked together all day, and Krishna would pour out his heart to the donkey. One day, Krishna was walking home with 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 won't study!' As soon as Krishna 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, and only the teacher remained behind to check some papers, Krishna entered the classroom. "How I can help you?' asked the teacher. Krishna 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 Krishna. He pretended to think for a while and then said, "Give me six months and it will cost you a thousand rupees.

The washer man agreed and rushed home to get the money. He then left the donkey in the teacher's care.

After the 6 months were up, Krishna 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 Krishna reached the next village he found the village elders sitting under a tree, discussing serious problems. How surprised they were when Krishna marched up to the headman, grabbed his arm and said How dare you? You think you are so clever at you ran away? Come home at once!

The headman understood had played a trick on Krishna. "I am not your donkey!' he said Go find the sage in the forest.' Krishna found the sage sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, deep in meditation. He crept up and grabbed the sage's beard. Come back home now!' he shouted. The startled sage somehow calmed Krishna. When he heard what had happened, he had a good laugh. Then he told the washer man 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 do that!' Krishna returned home later that day with his donkey, sadder and wiser.
