Goha and The Sultan's Pet Donkey
Once upon a time, there was a sultan - and Goha!
When the sultan wanted someone to teach his pet donkey to read and write, Goha volunteered.
But Goha told the sultan that the task would take three years and to accomplish it he would need a villa with servants.
The sultan agreed and next day Goha and the donkey moved into a splendid mansion.
Time passed. Goha’s friends came to visit him and found him lounging about in great comfort while the donkey happily roved over the gardens.
They warned him time and again that if he failed to come up with a literate donkey at the end of three years, he would surely lose his head.
But Goha was unperturbed.
"I shall not give up hope," he said.
"After all, one of four things might happen: The sultan might die, I may die, the donkey may die or-who knows?--the donkey may learn to read and write."
