The donkeys want to get out of their pen, but can’t–until the Wise Donkey comes along and solves the problem for them. Not only that, he lets the others all precede him into freedom. He’s not just smart; he also has nice manners.
I gravely fear there are humans among us who wouldn’t be able to figure out how to get out of the pen.
Priceless! And to think they’re called asses. It could be we should rethink that conclusion 🙂 What goodness God has placed within His creation!
I’d love to know his thought process, which, alas, he can’t communicate–not unless he’s REALLY smart! I wonder if he had to visualize his action before he took it.
And I wonder how long it’d take for him to learn how to tell time.
There really seems to be complex problem solving ability. I think it’s wonderful! Warms my heart 🙂
There’s always that one smart ass in every bunch.
LOL!
STLoyd, I got quite a chuckle out of your comment. I heard that so often from my sons growing up, and I don’t think they ever applied it quite that way.
Pretty clever. Animals are amazing.
My daughter used to live by some donkeys. She calls them “unhappy donkeys” because of the braying sound they make. As a result of her experience. Eeyore is one of her favorite characters.
