A certain man had a donkey, which had carried the corn-sacks to the mill loyally for many a long year;but his strength was going, and he was growing more and more unfit for work.Then his master began to wonder if it was worth his while keeping this old donkey much longer.
The donkey, seeing that no good wind was blowing, ran away and set out to the road to Bremen."There," he thought, "I can surely be town-musician."
When he had walked some distance, he found a dog lying on the road, gasping like one who had run till he was tired."What are you gasping so for, you big fellow?" asked the donkey.
"Ah," replied the dog, "as I am old, and daily grow weaker,and can no longer hunt, my master wanted to kill me, so I ran away, but now how am I to earn my bread?"
"I tell you what," said the donkey, "I am going to Bremen,and shall be a town-musician there; go with me and work also as a musician.I will play the lute, and you shall beat the kettledrum."
