donkeys went to see a wise old man. They told him their problem. The wise old man agreed that they worked too hard, and he wanted to help the donkeys. “I have an idea，” he said.
“What is your idea？” asked the donkeys.
“I will paint you and no one will know you are donkeys，” said the man. The man went off to find some paint and he returned in just a few minutes. He had two pots of paint. One pot was filled with white paint, and the other black paint.
The old man first painted them white, and then painted black stripes (条纹) over the white paint. When he finished, the donkeys did not look at all like donkeys. “You no longer look like donkeys，” the old man said. “Everyone will be fooled. I will call you something else, zebras.”
The zebras went to a field to eat grass. Now they did not have to work. Soon, other donkeys saw the zebras. They asked the zebras where they came from. When the zebras told the donkeys their secret, the donkeys all rushed to see the old man.
“Make us into zebras, too，” they pleaded. So the wise old man painted more donkeys. As he did, more and more donkeys came.
The old man could not paint fast enough. Soon the donkeys became impatient. They began to kick about, and they knocked over the paint pots.
There was no more paint. The painted donkeys ran off to become zebras. The unpainted donkeys, because of their impatience, had to return to work.
This is why it is important to be patient.

This isn't what the Burger King fast-food shop means when they say you can get it your way.
Henry Snowden pulled into the driver-up window at a Burger King for a burger, some fries and drinks on Friday. Not only did he get his order, he also got US $4,175 of the restaurant's earn put inside a brown paper bag.
“We looked at the money as we ate. We knew immediately we should take it back. But I've got to admit I really wanted the money.” Snowden said.
Snowden, 31, the owner of an Internet provider based in Lake Helen，Florida, returned the money on Saturday morning and learned that the restaurant placed the day's earnings in the same bag used for food orders, as a disguise (伪装) to prevent robberies.
The clerk working at the pick-up window mistakenly gave Snowden the money package, which the store manager had put near Snowden's food.
Snowden was met with tears, thanks and free lunch when he returned to the Burger King. But Snowden said he_has_something_better:_a choice his conscience (良心) could be comfortable.
