This document summarizes a fable about a washer man, his donkey, and his dog. One night, a thief broke into the washer man's house while he was asleep. The donkey brayed loudly to alert the washer man, causing the thief to run away. However, the washer man mistook the donkey's intentions and beat it for making noise. After investigating, the washer man realized the donkey had saved him from the thief and rewarded it. The donkey took on extra duties while the dog did less work, and the donkey was praised as a star performer while the dog only met requirements.
