But finally she had to accept that he was her child and she was his mother.


如果個仔一直都係咁細,唔會長大嘅話,所有嘢都會易話為啲。但係隻驢仔越長越大,再唔能夠俾媽咪孭住喺背脊上面。無論佢幾努力,始終模仿唔到人類嘅行為。佢媽咪經常會覺得又癐又𤷪。有時,佢仲會叫佢做埋啲動物先至會做嘅粗重嘢。

Now, if the child had stayed that same, small size, everything might have been different. But the donkey child grew and grew until he could no longer fit on his mother’s back. And no matter how hard he tried, he could not behave like a human being. His mother was often tired and frustrated. Sometimes she made him do work meant for animals.

當佢停低落嚟嘅時候呢,天都已經黑晒,驢仔蕩失路嘞。佢喺暗黑中「哼哼」聲叫住,暗黑中傳返嚟回聲,「哼哼」。佢孤零零一支公,卷成咗一團,心中充滿煩惱,就淰淰噉瞓著咗。
