One of Aesop's fables tells of an old man and his son bringing a donkey to the market. Passing some people on the way, they hear one remark, "Look at that silly pair, walking when they could be riding comfortably."
The idea seemed sensible to the old man, so he and the boy mounted the donkey and continued on their way. Soon they passed another group. "Look at that lazy pair," said a voice, "breaking the back of that poor donkey, tiring him so that no one will buy him."
The old man slid off, but soon they heard another criticism from a passerby: "What a terrible thing, this old man walking while the boy gets to ride." They changed places, but soon heard people whispering, "What a terrible thing, the big strong man riding and making the little boy walk."
The old man and the boy pondered the situation and finally continued their journey in yet another manner, carrying the donkey on a pole between them. As they crossed the bridge, the donkey broke loose, fell into the river, and drowned, what a needless tragedy.
