I adore donkeys. They are my father's favorite animal. I recall stories he relayed of him being kicked in the mouth by one as a young lad (I guess he was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time!). All he could eat for a month was soft, cooling watermelon. For his birthday a few years ago, I gave him a book which showed photographs of all the various donkey varieties from across the globed. Who knew there was so much variety, enough to fill a book!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! And love is still in the air after that rude shock ... This fellow was so gorgeous and loved company. I asked the elderly goatherd what his name was, in what I thought was my best Greek, and he replied loudly and slowly "gaitharos", which is "donkey" in Greek. Either he misunderstood my question or is just completely unimaginative!
