Stingy Steve & the Donkey Who Outsmarted Him

In a small town lived a super-cheap dude named Steve. Man wouldn’t give anybody a single crumb, not even a “how you doin’.”

The Cheapskate in Town

He kept a donkey and a bunch of birds at his place. Feed ’em? Nope. They survived on garden grass and bugs.

Neglected Animals

Donkey’s thinkin’, “Gotta bounce from this cheapskate.”

Donkey's Plan

One day, a bird drops dead. Steve shrugs, tosses it outside the gate.

The Dead Bird

Donkey’s like, “Bingo!” “If I play dead, he’ll dump me outside too, then I bolt.”

Donkey's Idea

So he flops down, tongue out, stone cold.

Playing Dead

Steve sees it, fake-sad face. “Aw, my donkey…” But bury it outside? Nah. Too much work.

Steve's Fake Sadness

Instead? He grabs a shovel, starts diggin’ a hole under a tree in the yard. “Free fertilizer!”

 Digging the Hole

Donkey peeks, “OH SNAP.” “He’s gonna bury me alive!”

Donkey's Panic

No time to think. Steve bends over the hole, BAM! Donkey mule-kicks him right in, plop, then gallops outta there like lightning.

The Escape

Moral, lil’ homie? Don’t fake it with a cheapskate, or you’ll end up in the hole, literally.
