To that the man replies “I could see what sort of beast he is from the companion he chose for himself". The moral lesson of the story is that " A man is known by the company he keeps". In other words, a person is considered similar to the people whose companionship he enjoys. In the story the donkey chose the company of an idle and voracious animal and that reveals his character in the eyes of his purchaser and indicates the the cour
