The Donkey and The Buyer - Aesop's fables

A man found in the fair an ass and, impressed by his distinguished bearing and firm step, decided to acquire it.

"I bought the donkey," he said to the owner, "but on condition to try it before."

The buyer took the donkey home and, when released in the manger, the newly acquired went along with another donkey that distinguished itself as glutton and brown.

When the man returned to the manger he saw that he was marveling with the lazy donkey, so he returned to the fair at once. Then the seller reproached him:

-How? How soon could you try it?

"No further proof was necessary," replied the buyer. I'm sure it must be the same as the partner you chose.

Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.
