The story of donkey, dog, and goat

Donkey, dog, and goat were heading off from Gorom-Gorom to Dori in a bush-taxi. Donkey paid and got into the bush-taxi. Goat said his uncle would pay when they got to Dori. Dog only had a 10,000cfa note, so he paid, and was told he would be given the right change when they got to Dori.

When they got to Dori, donkey and dog got down. Goat jumped down and ran off without paying, and the bush-taxi driver set off in pursuit, without giving dog his change.

And that is why today throughout Africa, whenever they see a car coming, goat runs away, dog chases the car to get his change, and donkey just stands and watches.
