In a village in England there was a farmer. The farmer had two donkeys. One was called Bill and the other called Ben. Bill and Ben lived in a square field. There was a fence in the middle of the field. On one side lived Bill. Ben lived on the other side.
One day the farmer decided to do a little test. Bill and Ben slept in small wooden huts near the fence. One evening the farmer waited until the two donkeys were asleep and tied a rope between Bill’s neck and Ben’s neck. The farmer then took down the fence and put a big pile of oats in Bill’s corner and in Ben’s corner. Oats are donkeys’ favourite food.
When the two donkeys woke up, they were surprised to find a rope around their necks. ‘What’s this?’ they cried.
"Mmm, oats!" they said, "we love oats!".
After walking ten metres both donkeys got a nasty surprise. The rope was too short. First Bill pulled hard and Ben slid away from his food. Then Ben pulled and Ben slid away from his food. Both were only thinking of their own pile of oats. The donkeys were getting weaker and weaker, but still they pulled and pulled.
Then Bill had an idea. "Hey Ben!" he shouted. "Why don’t you come over to my corner.’
‘What for?’ said Ben.
‘So we can eat my oats together. Then we can go to your corner and eat your oats together."
"Good idea, Bill," said Ben.
Soon both donkeys were enjoying the two piles of oats together.
The farmer smiled. 'My donkeys are the cleverest animals in England,' he said.

Hello my dear teacher.
I think we should use excellent thought until we can win in our life. beacuse I think our life is a square that everybody want win in it must fight with his ideas.
Hi!
my dear teacher
We are well. what about you ?
This story is very very funny.
we think all of animals are good and donkeys are one of them.
We belive that donkeys are stupid animal but when we read this story we change our ideas .
Love you

knowledge is better than power.every problem have a answer and it need to think.solve it without argument and fight.so people can solve their problem with thinking and reach their goal.
During the life if we face to very difficult problem maybe an easy way can help us to solve it, but we must use our brain to find a good way and after thinking we should decide to do something to solve this problem.
After reading this story I conclude that to become successful we should be together and understand each other. We mustn’t want everything for ourselves without paying attention to others.
Yes.I think Bill and Ben are very intelligent because If they are not clever they cant solve this problem and they never eat oats
I think Ben and Bill have creative power to solve this problem and if the human have same aim they can solve all problems
We can take this tip that when we are together we can do our work better and if we are alone we must think a lot and spend more time and of course it waste our time (and we know the time is more valuable than gold!), but if we think together we can decide better and maybe we don’t think about bad thing and decide for them.
In our life we have problems sometimes. We shouldn't to surrender.
We can solve some of them alone, but we can't often solve them and we must thinking together because several thinks better than one think.
I think we can with union arrive to every thing. These sentences say we must be union together and we can't do a work alone correctly and completely.
this story is funny but i do not agree with farmer because i think the his monkeys are the cleverest monkeys in the world but they are not the cleverest animals
Here donkeys contrary to them names are clever. Bill was more clever then ben .I think bill is the only donkey which has high intelligence among donkeys & it's happen by chance.If people be similar to this donkey, just from intelligence no other works that it can do ,probably word change to better one & more advanced.
The name animals are donkeys. Donkeys do not found out nothing but I am surprise that the donkey how solve this problem I think donkeys are improving bill and ben are cleverest donkey in world because they found out a way for reach to food
Dankys are very celever because they can find solution for thir problem. Always two bran is beter than one brain. In the end we shoudconsult someobe ib our problem.
