Page 14 - The Traveler and the Donkey final inside 18a
P. 14
So the man carried donkey on his back and went,
on with his journey with greater intent.
To reach the end of his travels at last,
So his friend would forgive him and forget the past.
But too soon the donkey began to complain,
about the rough road and the rocky terrain,
“Why are you taking this dreadful track?
It is bumpy and your jostling is jarring my back!”
“You do it on purpose, to spite me, I know,
from now on, I will tell you the way we will go!”
