Davy watched as he entered the temple.
Davy felt very proud of himself.
I carried the king, he thought.
I must be a very special donkey.
The next day, Davy's master decided he was ready for regular work.
One of the servants put two sacks of olives on Davy's back and set out to deliver them.
and they scratched Davy's back.
Once or twice he got so tired and miserable that he sat down in the road.
But the master's servant tugged on the rope attached to Davy's halter and pulled him along.
By the time Davy got home, he was very grumpy.
Why did the master make me carry those olives?
He grumbled to old Barnabas.
I shouldn't have to carry ordinary things.
We are donkeys, he said.
It is our job to carry things, whatever the master decides to put on our backs.
Every job is important, even carrying sacks of olives, and you should do your best to do it well.
