The donkey was standing at the empty feeding trough and dozing, when suddenly he heard someone knocking on the gate. Lo and behold, a swallow flies in like an arrow and says to the donkey:
- I was sent for you. Let's go to the wedding soon!
And the donkey's son asks:
“Why is it that they call you, an old man, but they don’t call me, a young man, even though I sing and dance better than you?”
“They probably need to bring firewood or haul water,” the father answers.
