Abstract
This is a charming 24-page version of MSA. Niko sets out with his son to sell two bags of wheat. He puts his son on the donkey because it is a hot day. Soon, because of criticism, they exchange places. Maybe we had both better ride the donkey. Then no one will complain (12). Their next ploy is to carry the wheat themselves. They do not, as the story often goes, carry the donkey. What are we to do, Father? Whatever we do seems to be the wrong thing. We will do whatever we please. Today we have learned a very important lesson (23). We have learned that no matter what you do, you can never hope to please everyone! (24). The Greek island background serves the telling of the fable here well.
