THE DONKEY'S DREAM.
Reading edition
A donkey laid him down to sleep, And as he slept and snored full deep, He was observed (strange sight) to weep, As if in anguished mood. A gentle mule that lay near by, The donkey roused, and, with a sigh, In kindly voice inquired why Those tears he did exude. The donkey, while he trembled o'er And dropped cold sweat from every pore, Made answer in a fearful roar: "I dreamed I was a dude!"
