A farmer rode his donkey to the field where he worked and, after leaving water, he tied the donkey to a tree to rest while he worked the field.
Satan came by and untied the donkey who ran into a nearby field where a woman grew a garden. Because he was hungry, he ate most of the produce in the garden so, when the woman saw what had happened, she killed the donkey.
When the farmer found the dead donkey, he shot and killed the woman.
When the woman's husband found her body, he stormed off and shot the donkey's owner.
The sons of the donkey's owner avenged the death of their father and they set fire to the house of the man who killed their father.
Suddenly struck by remorse, the sons asked Satan why all those terrible things had happened. Satan replied, "Why, I did nothing - except release the donkey. It was you who reacted and released your inner devil."
Please listen to this parable. Pause........... and think...............................
