Father : Ok, let’s see what happens.

(both get off the donkey and carry

him. They can hardly walk. The
man, Mrs Liz, the old man and

the girl enter the stage)

Man : (laughing) What’s this! I’ve never
seen anything like this!

Mrs Liz : (laughing) What a pair of fools!

Old Man : How funny you look carrying a
donkey…

(they leave the stage)

Father : (angry) And now, what are we

going to do, my son?

Son : To tell you the truth. I don’t know,
father. We did what they told us to

do, but we couldn’t please them. Everybody criticised us and now
they laugh at us.

Father : Look, my son. I wanted you to see with your own eyes that there are
many different opinions and that it’s not possible to please

everybody.

Son : I can see that, father. They laughed at us because we tried to please
them, but what are we going to do now?

Father : Well, you must think right and decide what you think is better.

Son : Even if everybody does not agree. I know what to do! You will ride
the donkey half of the way and I will ride him the other half. Along

the way, we can also walk a little, so that Snooky can rest.

Father : (gets on the donkey) Well done, my son. We will do just that. Come
on Snooky, start walking!
opinion : a personal view
Son : (looking convinced ) Let people talk! convinced : agreed

(they leave the stage singing)
Have you ever tried to
please anyone?
