It is said that not many people can understand this fable until now, especially for those after 80s who haven't found a boyfriend or girlfriend. Most of those who can understand are already husbands or wives or mothers. It's pitiful for those after 80s who haven't found a boyfriend or girlfriend but can understand it, hehe...
The Princess met the donkey on the east bank of the river. The donkey was black, but with a white mouth, white belly and white hooves.
The donkey said he could talk, and he said he was a beautiful donkey.
The princess wanted to cross the river, there was a prince waiting to marry her in the castle on the west bank.
The river wasn't very deep, but she was wearing a beautiful wedding dress, and she was afraid that the river water would wet her clothes.
The donkey said: "Do you want me to carry you across?"
"Can you ensure that my dress won't get wet?"
"No."
"Well, thank you anyway,"
The princess smiled and replied: "I think the prince will come to pick me up."
"What if he doesn't come?"
"Then I'll wait longer."
For a long time, no one came, the princess sat alone on the shore, sighing quietly.
When her eyes swept over the donkey, the donkey smiled: "Do you want me to carry you across now?"
"No." The princess still refused, but looked at the donkey carefully.
"You really want me to carry you across." The donkey asserted.
"It's you who wants me to let you carry me across." The princess replied.
"Then who do you want to carry you across?"
"The prince I am going to marry."
"I carry you across, you kiss me, how do you know I can't turn into a prince?"
"Do you think you're the Frog Prince?"
"I'm the Beautiful Donkey Prince."
"Donkey is a donkey, prince is too much."
"Why don't you let me help you cross the river?"
"I'm afraid you'll wet my wedding dress."
"I don't think so."
"Why not?"
"Because I want to carry you across now."
"Oh? Should I believe you?"
"Why shouldn't you believe me?"
"I dare not trust your words easily."
"Are you saying you don't believe what I say?"
"I don't believe what you say."
"Are you really not believing what I say?!"
"Should I believe you?"
"Shouldn't you believe me?"
"I believe in my own judgment."
"Well, then you judge slowly!"
...
It was getting late, the princess and the donkey were silent. A chill came, the princess adjusted her clothes.
The donkey broke the silence: "Cold?"
"Cold."
"Let me carry you across the river, whether I wet your clothes or not, I will give you three love proverbs."
"How should I repay you?" The princess asked.
"If your clothes don't get wet, take me home."
The princess accepted the donkey's suggestion.
The princess got on the donkey. Before leaving, the donkey seriously told her:
"Remember, when I carry you, you cannot cry, your tears will make me unbearable."
The princess said she remembered, then also seriously told the donkey:
"Remember, definitely don't wet my clothes, otherwise I will immediately abandon your carrying."
The donkey stepped into the river.
"Have you ever carried girls across the river before?" The princess asked.
"Of course." The donkey answered calmly.
"Did their clothes get wet?"
"The first girl's didn't, all the others did."
"Did the first girl take you home?"
"No, otherwise I wouldn't meet other girls."
"It seems like you've met a lot of girls."
"Counting you, there should be about fifteen or sixteen."
The princess laughed: "You're the thirtieth donkey who wants to carry me across the river."
"Hehe." The donkey just smiled silently.
The princess suddenly remembered the love proverbs promised by the donkey, the donkey agreed to tell her the first one:
"Whether man or woman, only in the first love is someone else loved, later in love, oneself is loved."
The donkey walked slowly and steadily, indeed very stable, the princess relaxed, hugged the donkey's neck, feeling warm.
"Do you like me carrying you across the river?" The donkey asked.
"Yes." The princess smiled and acknowledged.
"I also like carrying you like this, hoping we can keep walking like this forever."
The donkey's voice was warm but melancholy, sounding like a sigh.
The wind and the donkey's words kept kissing the princess's cheeks, the princess smiled and fell asleep quietly.
She had a dream that princesses often have: she kissed the donkey,
Then the donkey turned into a prince, from then on the prince and princess lived happily together.
When she woke up, she saw the donkey still walking slowly and steadily, her dress was completely dry.
Happy inside, she kissed the donkey - would the donkey turn into a prince?
No.
After all, fairy tales are fairy tales, the donkey is not a prince,
The prince waiting to marry her is in the castle on the west bank. She blankly thought, a tear dropped from her eye.
The tear landed on the donkey.
As if suddenly burned, the donkey suddenly raised its hooves and neighed, causing waves of thousands of feet.
The princess's dress got wet.
"Why?" The princess asked.
"I told you." The donkey expressionless.
The princess also remembered what she once said to the donkey.
So she said nothing, got down from the donkey's back, and waded towards the opposite bank alone.
The donkey made no attempt to retain or explain, and also turned around and went back,
Directly towards the east bank of the river - where another girl was waiting for someone to carry her across.
Vaguely young, vaguely beautiful, she also had a nice wedding dress.
"Love is unique, but the person you love is not unique." The donkey suddenly said: "This is the second proverb."
The princess cried like a river, the cold water chilled her heart and lungs.
Finally arrived at the opposite bank, her beautiful dress was completely soaked.
She sat down powerlessly on the bank, hugging her knees like a small animal, sobbing darkly.
Still cold.
A white rabbit walked beside her: "Princess, next time I'll accompany you across the river."
"Thank you," The princess hugged the white rabbit: "No need, now I just need a little warmth."
The donkey had already returned to the east bank of the river.
The princess suddenly remembered there was still one proverb the donkey hadn't said,
So she looked up at the west bank: "Please tell me the last proverb, beautiful donkey."
The donkey coldly looked at her one last time, and said: "I love my love." Then he walked towards the girl waiting to cross the river.
...
Friend, do you understand? What do the princess, the prince, the rabbit, the donkey, and the three proverbs represent?
Princess: is the real you; Prince: is everyone's ideal lover;
Donkey: is the person waiting for you, he is very realistic, his promises to you are also very realistic, but he is also fragile, fragile to the point that the tears you shed for others are something he will never accept (or rather, what he cannot accept is your betrayal of love).
Rabbit: He is very pitiful, he is a substitute when you are helpless, maybe you will unjustly stay with him forever because you are tired, perhaps when you find the Frog Prince or another donkey, you will hesitate not at all to leave him.
