- There was once a man whose name was Uncle Roger. Uncle Roger was poor. He had a donkey, but he did not have any thinks to feed him. He then decided to teach the donkey not to eat any more. One day, after some time someone met Uncle Roger without the donkey and asked him where the donkey was and if he (the donkey) had leaned not to eat any more. Uncle Roger, very sad, replied: "Young man, the donkey had almost leaned not to eat any more, but he died on me." -
