I was really stubborn at the time and my father had tried all means possible to all me to order over this matter. He broke my aquarium; one that he bought me on one of my birthdays and stuffed this written message therein. “There was this man who went to the market in need of an ass, he stumbled on an animal that looked similar, negotiated with the owner of the animal to take him home on a test round to ascertain whether he would buy or not. When he arrived home, he put him into his stable amongst the other asses. The new animal took a look round the stable, immediately went and initiated the company of the laziest and greediest beast in the stable. When the owner of the stable saw this he immediately put a halter on him, and led him back to the original owner again. The owner was really surprised over the almost immediate return, and asked, ‘Why did you return him, have you completed your test already?’ ‘There isn’t any need for more trials replied the buyer: ‘His company defined him’.

I was heartbroken though but I learned!
