A man bought a donkey at the market one day and took him home on approval. Now the man owned several donkeys already and he knew each one’s character very well.

One of the donkeys was very strong and brave. Another was eager to please but quickly exhausted. One donkey was very lazy. He hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he possibly could all day long. When the other animals were being loaded up he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load.

The man led the new donkey into the stable yard. For a moment he stood sniffing at his new companions. Then, without hesitation, he trotted up to the lazy donkey and began feeding comfortably at his side.

Though it was late in the day, the man immediately led the new donkey out of the yard, straight back to the market.

“Yocannot have given him a fair trial yet,” said the merchant. “It is only ten minutes since yobought him.”

“I don’t need to try him any more,” replied the man. “I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself. Take him away and give me my money back. I can do without donkeys like him.”

作文：

Having seen how the newly-bought donkey chose friends, a man returned him to the merchant and asked for his money back, realizing that the donkey was a lazy one even without giving him a trial.

The message conveyed in the story is quite clear: A man is known by the company he keeps. As we all know, friends are the family we choose for ourselves, which is why the type of friend yochoose to surround yourself with is so important. True friends will respect, care for and learn from each other while bad companions will lead yoin the wrong direction.

From where I stand, as teenagers, we had better not make friends casually. A friend is a mirror in life. It is wise for us to make friends with those who are friendly, determined, hardworking and optimistic so that their positive images will definitely have a good influence on our growth.
