### Donkeys in Government
Once upon a time, there was a king who wanted to go fishing. He called upon his royal meteorologist to inquire about the weather forecast for the upcoming hours. Assured there was no chance of rain in the coming days, the king set off to fish with his queen. Along the way, they encountered a farmer riding a donkey. The farmer told the king, “Your Majesty, you should return to the palace immediately because a heavy rainstorm will soon hit this area.”
The king ignored the farmer’s warning, placing his trust in his professional meteorologist. Shortly afterward, a torrential downpour soaked both the king and queen, much to the amusement of their entourage. Furious and humiliated, the king returned to the palace and promptly fired the professional weather forecaster. He then summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and well-paid position of royal meteorologist. However, the farmer replied, “Your Majesty, I know nothing about forecasting; I get my information from my donkey. When I see its ears droop, it means rain is coming.”
So, the king hired the donkey, and thus began the practice of employing donkeys to work in government and occupy the highest and most influential positions.
