00:32I need to sit comfortably
00:35I follow the sheep's movement at the same time
00:39But how
00:53Hello
00:55Hello, Haj Sadiq
00:57Help yourself
00:58Help yourself
00:59Do you want to buy feed for your livestock?
01:04No, I resorted to buying a donkey.
01:07I thought you preferred walking.
01:10This is correct
01:13But forced
01:14My back hurts
01:16I need to sit down
01:20What do you think of this strong donkey?
01:28Because it's too strong
01:31I want a calm and docile donkey
01:35I have your request
01:36This donkey is extremely gentle.
01:40Look at his kindness and his submissive gaze.
01:43Sit on top of him
01:45No need
01:48Don't be afraid
01:50Sit down, sir
01:54Why isn't it moving?
01:57Because you did not order him to move
01:59Donkeys don't act on their own.
02:03Always waiting for orders and instructions
02:07Fast donkey
02:08Sheha
02:12Wonderful, how drunk
02:14What are you generous with?
02:19Try to memorize the route
02:22Donkeys are known for their ability to walk alone without getting lost.
02:28Or get lost
02:30Why did you stop? Are you hungry?
02:37Don't raise your voice like that
02:40Enjoy your meal and get well soon
02:44Do you know that you have a very old grandfather?
02:47He experienced a miraculous event with one of God's prophets.
02:54I will tell you his story
02:56Your great-grandfather lived during the time of the Prophet Ezra, peace be upon him.
03:02He is one of the prophets of the Children of Israel
03:07He called upon people to work according to the ten principles and to adhere to the ten precepts.
03:12Which Moses, peace be upon him, brought
03:16While most of the people were living corrupt lives
03:20It is rife with cheating, lying, and deception.
03:33My mother, my mother
03:34What do you want, porter, my son?
03:37When were you born?
03:39Were you born one day?
03:41What's new about that?
03:43All donkeys are born one day
03:45Huh? Did you say something?
03:48No, Mom, I wanted to ask who my father is?
03:52Your great-grandfather was a mighty beast who wrestled with a lion, just so you know.
04:00How is this?
04:03Donkeys were once wild animals
04:07The monsters considered us their favorite food.
04:12Then what?
04:13Your grandfather thought about having some of his sons work as servants for humans.
04:19Fleeing from the lions' fangs
04:22So let man befriend the most wretched of his offspring.
04:28From that moment
04:30Donkeys have become a type
04:32brutal type
04:34Near extinction
04:36And another type is domesticated
04:39He lives in service to humanity
04:41This is for your information.
04:44You didn't tell me who my father is?
04:46I don't know
04:48Donkey, my son
04:50Abu is unknown
04:52And a little while later
04:54You will grow up and forget to ask about your mother.
04:57This is the nature of donkeys
04:59This is for your information.
05:01One last question
05:03Why do you always say that at the end of your speech?
05:06Is this for your information?
05:08I don't know
05:11Donkeys don't bother thinking about what they say.
05:16This is for your information.
05:19I am your new master
05:21My name is Haziel
05:24The richest trader in this region
05:29And I am your new servant
05:31My name is Hamal
05:33This is for your information.
05:35Why are you raising your voice, you donkey?
05:38Why are you hitting?
05:40I loved you because you were thin and wouldn't hurt my back.
05:45But if you hit me, I will hate you.
05:49This is for your information.
05:55I told you to shut up
05:57Oh corn
06:00O beloved wife
06:02I bought a new donkey
06:07And I prepared the food for us.
06:10Two boiled eggs
06:12Two whole eggs?
06:15Why, Arnousa?
06:18You know I only eat seven eggs a day
06:23One egg will last for a whole week
06:26You should do exactly as I did.
06:29Otherwise, we will be ruined.
06:34Where is my food?
06:37Say the food in front of you
06:40This is just
06:42There are few beans and my stomach is big
06:45This is for your information.
06:57My great-grandfather was a donkey
07:01When the work was accepted by the human
07:04What is this?
07:09What is with you?
07:11I feel tired, hot, hungry, and unhappy.
07:16This is for your information.
07:18Are you talking about science?
07:22So you are a scientist
07:25No, I'm a porter.
07:29My name is Hamal
07:31And I am a hyena
07:33I'm happy to see you
07:36Are you happy in this heat?
07:38Are you crazy?
07:42What is this?
07:44Stop working
07:46To talk to donkeys?
07:49Say
07:49Don't hit me in front of her
07:53I will tear your body apart with this stick
07:56You lazy bum
08:00I said, "Don't hit me in front of this strange, crazy donkey."
08:06He endures the pain for my sake.
08:11How kind and gentle he is
08:14Come on, move!
08:15I told you to move
08:17I will bring a knife and slaughter you with it.
08:20No, I don't want you to be slaughtered.
08:24No, no, don't worry, he's too stingy to slaughter a donkey.
08:29He bought it with money
08:30And how will this position benefit you?
08:33I don't know
08:37But anything could be better than what I'm in now.
08:41The cup has overflowed and spilled
08:45Like water spilling from an old bucket
08:49So, are you a poet?
08:53Yes, a poet, a poet born of hunger and exhaustion, and this is from knowledge.
09:04Haziel, why do you push the donkey instead of riding it?
09:09Ask the donkey, he refuses to walk
09:13He must be hungry
09:21He is a rebel
09:23And I will show him the end of this rebellion.
09:27Come on, get me a knife.
09:29If you slaughtered it, no one would buy its meat.
09:33Malik will shorten
09:36You're right
09:37I will take him to the market
09:39I will sell it to the first person who asks to buy it.
09:43I will rest from your face
09:55How are you, friends?
09:58I'm your new colleague, my name is Hammal
10:02Porter, I'm Nahoka, what good luck!
10:09Do you think so?
10:11Boy, separate the dull donkey for me and tie her up well.
10:17Your wish is my command, sir.
10:19I wonder what they will do to us?
10:23Huh? I don't know, maybe they'll give us more food.
10:36Why are they burning us?
10:40Excuse me, sir, why do we brand the backs of donkeys?
10:44Until it peels off, then if you touch the wound, the dull donkey will bolt like a horse.
10:53And that makes it easier to sell, understand?
11:02Welcome, I'm Hani, a servant of my master Uzair, but he treats me like his slave.
11:12Here, take these beans, no, not for me, they're for you.
11:17The master of the brave instructed me to select good beans and place them before you
11:23While he will eat it and the rest
11:25Unbelievable
11:28Is there anyone this kind?
11:32After you finish your meal
11:35I will cleanse your body with water
11:37Who is serving whom here?
11:40The chief merchant was a miser
11:44What is Mr. Aziz's new job?
11:53porter
11:55I didn't know you
11:58You gained weight and wore a gorgeous new saddlebag
12:04Yes, my dear sir, bring me two new saddles.
12:10And I am happy with them
12:12This is for your information.
12:14His name is Uzair, O porter
12:17It is 'Uzair, not Aziz.
12:21You work for him and you don't know his name?
12:26Many people pronounce his name Aziz
12:30Then they say that donkeys
12:33I see fools and idiots
12:35What's wrong with that?
12:37And what are you doing here?
12:39I work here in the jewelry shop.
12:48He is a rich man
12:52But unfortunately, he is very stingy.
12:58Something you shouldn't do to strange people
13:28I understand now
13:30Now I understand why it's going around to people in their homes.
13:34He advises them to do good
13:37And the ways of evil
13:39I would have excelled in intelligence
13:42prophet
13:48Good morning, porter
13:51Today you will go with my master Uzair
13:55to his garden
14:01The weather is extremely hot.
14:04And we stayed at dawn
14:06What is it like at midday?
14:10Don't be lazy
14:13Don't play in the street
14:16He carried out the orders of my master, Aziz, without delay.
14:22I will drink a sip of water
14:25Then I will be ready
14:32I don't know
14:34Why am I worried about my master, Uzair, today?
14:44This is the city of death
14:47Humans call them cemeteries
14:51I don't like it
14:53I don't feel safe there.
14:56This is for your information.
14:58finally
15:01Here is the garden
15:03I'm comfortable here
15:06So that my master may gather as much grapes and debt as he desires
15:11It's okay to eat a little grass
15:20It's okay to eat another small amount to restore my energy.
15:32The two baskets were full, and my stomach was full too.
15:47I wish I hadn't filled my stomach so much
15:51The Prophet Ezra felt his need for shade
15:55His donkey also needs a shepherd.
15:58The closest shadows to them were signs of acceptance, so he went to them.
16:04Does my master eat dry bread soaked in grape juice?
16:11It's a very small quantity.
16:15How can these few bites be enough for him?
16:20The Prophet of God, Ezra, peace be upon him
16:24He is thinking about something that puzzles him.
16:27It is the matter of resurrection
16:30How does God bring these bones back to life after they have died?
16:34He was certain of God's power and had no doubt.
16:39He was just wondering
16:42At that moment something very strange happened
16:46The Prophet Ezra died in his place
16:49He died peacefully
16:51As if he had fallen into a deep sleep
16:54Before the donkey could utter a word, the other
16:58The last thing he wanted to say was that the grapes would spoil if we left them in the war.
17:04But death overtook him, and he did not speak.
17:08But the story didn't end there.
17:11There's more to it; I'll finish it for you when the sun rises tomorrow, God willing.
