A man bought a donkey at the market one day and took him home to see if it is a good one.Now the man had several donkeys and he knew each one's character very well.

One of the donkey was very strong and brave. Another was clever to make him laugh but quickly tired. One donkey was very lazy. He hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he possibly could all day long. When the other animals were being loaded up he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load.

The man took the new donkey to the back of his house. For a moment the new donkey stood smelling his new friends. Then, without hesitation, he ran up to the lazy donkey and began eating at his side.

Though it was late in the day, the man took the new donkey out of his house, went back to the market.

"You cannot know him well, "said the merchant. "It is only ten minutes since you bought him."

"I don't need to know him any more," answered the man. "I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself.

Take him away and give me my money back. I can do without donkeys like him."
