READING COMPREHENSION
GOHA AND HIS DONKEY
Retold by Mahmound Ibrahim Mostafa

One summer morning, Goha and took his son out to work in his cotton field. He was riding his
donkey while his son walked next to him when they came upon some neighbors sitting by the side of
the road. One of them called Goha aside and scolded him for riding on the donkey and letting his
young son walk on a hot sumer day. So Goha got off the donkey and put his son on the dpnkeys
back, and he continued on his way.
A few minutes later he passed by some people from his village and greeted them, and none
of them replied, Goha, dont you think it is disrespectful of the son to let his father walk while he
rides a donkey?. Goha thought about it for a minute, and with a smile on his face he decided what
he should do.
The next day, Goha and his son walked along with the beast in the dusty and hot afternoon,
and they met a friend doing ablution in preparation for a prayer. The friend suddenly shouted Goha
for putting himself and his son through a difficult walk, when they could have been riding the strong
donkey, and getting to their destination more quickly. Goha, looked up and began to wonder how he
could really solve this problem, especially since only yesterday he had thought he knew exactly
what to do.
A few days later Goha decided to have both himself and his son ride on the donkey. It was a
very hot day, when yet again he came across one of his neighbors, shaking his head and saying,
Goha, dont you have any pity for the donkey? How can the two of you father and son alike, be
riding on the donkey on such a hot day?. And the neighbor left them, shaking his head in disgust.
Goha had a very puzzled looked on his face. What am I to do now? One never seems to be able to
satisfy anyone in this world. What will I do now?
He went home that day not knowing what to do. His wife noticed that something was amiss,
but he wouldnt tell her what it was. He could barely eat, and he gave a big portion of his dinner to
his son. The son was very happy, but he thought to himself, Why is father so troubled? I wish him
well; my father is a good man. Later he went to his room, and as he passed through his fathers
