Once upon a time there was a donkey that was working hardly everyday, whether it was raining or sunshine. He only stopped to eat and to sleep. Day after day, he was eating always the same thing: grass already dried by the sun and the remains of its owners food,mixed with water and bran.
His bed was dark and cold, but even like that he was always dreaming everyday with green grass to eat and walk, without having to carry those heavy burdens.
He was always dreaming with a clean washed bed, with candies, which he had never tried, but thought to be good, because the children were happy when they were eating it.
One day, when he was starting to loose its strenght,they picked It up and moved it to another house. When he arrived to its new home, he cryed of happiness, because he had always dreamed about it. There was a nice couple with a beautiful, tender girl, that immediatly caressed him, what didn’t happen since he left their parents house. By her mother’s hand, she took him to the place where he would sleep and eat. It was a quite fresh clean place, with a wide window where the donkey could see one vast meadow, that looked even bigger and better than everything he dreamed about. The donkey asked the girl to pinch him, just to be certain he wasn’t sleeping. The donkey wanted the girl to jump on his back, to go together on a walk throug the vaste meadows. When they arrived from their long walk, the girl gave a chocolate cake to the donkey that eats very slowly so that he could fully taste the flavour of black spicy chocolate. He wanted to know this flavour since was a little donkey.
Since that day, the donkey and the girl became the best friends in the world and they live happily ever after.
