You can come if you want. Get your hat. It’s a hot day. G: Father, will we ride the donkey today? M: No dear, we won’t ride him today for it is a hot day, and he will have a heavy load to carry home from the market.

A crazy situation right in front of me! Farmer: You fools! Don't you know that donkeys are for riding? You must be afraid to rub the fur of its body. Farmer’s Wife: How ridiculous! You own a donkey, but you don’t use it! That makes you the ass! M: What are you scoundrels scoffing at? My dear, get up onto the Donkey. Donkey: EEee-aww! Why didn’t that farmer keep his mouth shut! All: Awwww…
