  Where?       : In the kitchen
  When?        : Long time ago
  
• Complication
  What happened one day?
  The ass worked hard all day, hauling heavy loads. But he was well looked after, and had a warm, comfortable stable, with plenty of fresh hay to eat and water to drink.
  The lapdog stayed with his master all day, and lived in the house with him. He did no work, but was made much of, and even allowed to sit on the master's lap.
  The ass saw the lapdog leading a life of leisure, being petted by the master, and being given choice tidbits of food from the master's own plate, and the ass grew jealous of the lapdog.

  What happened then?
  The ass too behave like the dog, and wag his tail and jump on the master, the master will start loving him as much as he does the dog.

  And then....
  One day, when he was left unattended while the farmer and all the farmhands were at their midday meal, the ass broke his halter and ran into the farmhouse kitchen. There the farmer sat at table. The ass rushed up to him and began wagging his tail vigorously, and knocked off all the china from the table. He then started jumping around and frolicking like a little dog, and finally plonked himself down on the farmer's lap. The shocked farmer yelled for help.

  What happened next?
  The farmhands came running in and dragged the ass off to his stable, and gave him a beating he did not forget the rest of his life.
  It is best to be contented with one's lot.
  
• Re-orientation
  How is the end of the story?
  The farmhands punched the ass.
  What is the ending?
  It's a sad ending
  
  That's all just the rough draft. Can you understand it guys?
  Ok see you next week ^^
