They continued the journey and encountered Passer-by B, who said to the grandson, “Young man, how disrespectful you are! How could you let this elderly walk alongside when you’re sitting on the donkey?”
Indeed, the grandson was already a teenager. He felt ashamed and dismounted as soon as he heard Passer-by B’s words. He helped his grandpa to get on the donkey and they continued their way.

As the journey went on, Passer-by C saw them and said to the grandpa, “Mister, don’t you have any sense of caring for the young? Look how healthy and strong you are. How could you let the boy walk while you ride?”
Truly, the grandpa was just over 50s. Hearing what Passer-by C said, he also felt ashamed and dismounted immediately. Right at that moment, the grandpa and the grandson felt quite confused after hearing so many voices during the journey. They thought to themselves that maybe it’s not appropriate for neither of them to ride the donkey. At last, they decided to continue the travel on foot along with the donkey.

After a while, Passer-by D saw them and asked, “Where did you come from?”
The grandpa answered, “We came from a remote village.”
“Oh, so you’ve walked a long way. Where are you going?”
The grandson replied, “We’re going to the capital!”
Hearing that, Passer-by D burst into laughter and said, “You fools, going somewhere this far on foot? You’ve got a donkey yet you don’t ride it. Haha, how ridiculous!”
Hearing Passer-by D’s scoffing, the grandpa and the grandson got very annoyed: neither both of them, nor just one of them, nor nobody should ride the donkey. What should they do then? Thinking of this, they totally lost their interest in going to the capital. They turned around in a huff and went back to their village.
