(e) _The Miller, His Son, and the Donkey_

_Full credit; score 2._ "When you try to please everybody you
please nobody." "Don't listen to everybody; you can't please
them all." "Don't take every one's advice." "Don't try to do
what everybody tells you." "Use your own judgment." "Have a mind
of your own." "Make up your mind and stick to it." "Don't be
wishy-washy." "Have confidence in your own opinions."

_Half credit; score 1._ Interpretations which are generalized

Type (2), very crude interpretations stated in concrete terms:

Type (3), irrelevant responses: "The men were too heavy for the
donkey." "They ought to have stayed on and they would not have
fallen into the stream." "It teaches about a man and he lost his
donkey."

Type (4), efforts to repeat the story.

Type (5), inability to respond.
