Part 2 — THE DONKEY.
Reading edition
[Page 53.
1. The donkey is a useful animal when well treated. It is cheaper to buy and to keep than a pony.
2. The donkey has hoofs like the horse, and wears shoes. It is very patient and gentle, and can do with coarse food.
3. The donkey's coat is rough, and its mane short. It has a black stripe down its back and across its shoulders. Its head and ears are very long.
4. The donkey can climb high rugged paths better than the horse. It can also carry heavy loads up hill, because it is strong and sure-footed.
