Mr.Pike wants to sell his donkey. in one day, he and his son went to the market in the city, they walked beside their donkey. Some people saw them and said : "They're stupid, the street is too long and one of them should ride their donkey". Mr Pike heard that and permited his son ride the donkey.
Next, they met some farmers, they said that Mr.Pike made his son become lazy. He accepted that opinion and decided to ride donkey instead of the son.
On the way, he met some ladies. "He is heartless, why he can let his son walks on the road tiredly" -- ladies said, heard that, he told his son to sit behind him.
When they passed a field, the cowherds said that they have been using the poor donkey's energy, so they can't sell the donkey for high price. Then, Mr. Pike decided tied donkey's legs and carried on his shoulder. He looked so funny .
He didn't think by himeself but he just followed everyone's advices.A bad fact was happened. The donkey felt uncomfortable and struggled when they passing a bridge. Suddenly, the rope was loose, the donkey falt down into the river and died.
Mr Pike and his son came back home in the bad mood but they get more experience. They realized when they try to please everyone, they can't please anyone. Worse than ever, they lost their valuable property.

Tôi cũng đang học tiếng Anh, Hy vọng bạn đồng ý với bản dịch sau:

Mr.Pike wanted to sell his donkey. (in, bỏ chữ này) one day, he and his son went to the market in the city, they walked beside their donkey. Some people saw them and said : "They're stupid, it's a long way to the city and one of them should ride their donkey". Mr Pike heard that and let his son ride the donkey.
Then, they met some farmers, they said that Mr.Pike had made his son become lazy. That comment made sense to him and he decided to ride the donkey instead of the son.
After a while, he met some women "He is heartless, why he can let his son walk on the road tiredly" -- They said, heard that, he told his son to sit behind him.
As they were passing by the field, the cowherd said that they have had been abusing the poor donkey's energy,that they could not sell the donkey at high price. Mr. Pike decided to tie the donkey's legs up and carried it on his shoulder. He looked so funny carrying the donkey. Instead of making his own decision, the man just followed someone else's opinons blindly.As the matter of fact, later on,something really bad had happened to the donkey. The donkey felt uncomfortable and struggled as they were passing a bridge. Suddenly the rope got loose, the donkey fell down into the river and died.
Mr Pike and his son returned home in the bad mood but they had learned a lesson. They realized that if they tried to please everyone, they please noone. Worse than ever, they lost their valuable property.[/QUOTE]

he decided to ride the donkey instead of the son.

this could mean, he decided to ride the donkey and not to ride his son.

The wording should be, he decided to ride the donkey himself instead of his son.

Mr.Pike wanted to sell his donkey. One day, he and his son went to the market in the city. They were walking beside their donkey when some people saw them and said, "They're stupid! It's a long way to the city and one of them should ride the donkey". Mr Pike heard this and let his son ride the donkey.
Then, they met some farmers. They said that Mr.Pike had made his son lazy. He agreed with this comment and he decided to ride the donkey instead of his son.
After a while, they met some women who said "He is heartless! Why can't he let his son walk on the road instead" On hearing this, Mr. Pike told his son to sit behind him.
As they were passing by a field, a herd of cows said that Mr. Pike and his son had had been exploiting the poor donkey('s energy) and that they would not be able to sell the donkey at a high price. Mr. Pike decided to tie the donkey's legs up and carry it on his shoulders. He looked so funny carrying the donkey. Instead of making his own decisions, he had followed someone else's opinons blindly. As a matter of fact, something really bad happened to the donkey later on. The donkey had felt uncomfortable and it had struggled as they were all passing a bridge. Suddenly, the rope had become loose and the donkey fell into the river and died.
Mr Pike and his son both returned home in bad moods, but they had learned a lesson. They realized that if they tried to please everyone, they would please no one. Worse than that, they had lost some valuable property.

questions:
Mr.Pike wanted to sell his donkey. One day, he and his son went to the market in the city and they *were walking* beside their donkey. Some people saw them and said, "They're stupid! It's a long way to the city and one of them should ride the donkey".
How can some people saw and knew 'it's a long way to the city'????
