Aesop's Fable: The Donkey and the Lap Dog

What this fable was about: This fable is about a donkey and a lap dog. The lap dog jumped up and liked the man's face. When it was dinner time the donkey burst in the house and started acting like the lap dog. The donkey wrecked the table and smashed the dishes. Some servants beat the donkey and put him back in his stall.
What do you think about the donkey?: I Josie think the donkey is a really bad donkey. He was trying to be like the lap dog but he shouldn't because he is a donkey and he doesn't fit on his master's lap.

The moral of the fable:

Be yourself.
Don't try to make other people like you by being something that you're not.
