The Ass And The Carat

The rider dangled a (Gold)carat

In front of the Donkey.

It raced ahead to catch it,

Unaware the carat on the stick will race ahead as fast as him.

The rider, with destination in mind,

Goaded the donkey further.

Greed induced it to move faster

And Faster towards its own grave.

The rider reached his destination safely

And Proceeded on another journey on another donkey.
