A man bought a lazy donkey at the market. The man already owned several donkeys and knew their characters well. This particular donkey hated going to work and did as little as possible. When other animals were being loaded up, he always tried to be last. The man introduced a new donkey to the stable yard who immediately started feeding comfortably beside the lazy one. The man decided he didn"t need to try the new donkey anymore because he knew what he liked based on his choice of friends.
