Donkey Tale

by John D. Alexander, Angela Capel (illustrator)

This simple tale is told by a donkey, teased mercilessly for his one floppy ear, who leaves to find solace in a field. The donkey, loaded down with shame, carrying invisible burdens, meets a man mending a fence who helps him see that the burdens he carries are not his to bear. The donkey, overcome with joy, gives his new friend a ride up a dusty old road and discovers he has a very special role.
