There were two donkeys A & B - best of buddies.
At the village fair A is sold to a rich Arab while B is sold to a rich businessman.
The Arab treats A like his child, takes good care of him etc. etc.
While the businessman ill treats B, does not feed him well and makes him work hard.
After few years A & B meet and have a chat.
A is very sad about B and says:
"My Arab can buy you from your business man and you can have a good life too"
B says, "No, I have hope here"
A: "What Hope?"
B: "The businessman has a beautiful daughter, and when she misbehaves the businessman tells her - If you continue misbehaving I will marry you off to this donkey!"
Hope Drives the World!!!
