The Donkey Donkeys are sometimes not highly regarded by people in some parts of the world.
Donkeys are plain, humble creatures.
There is nothing at all fancy or glorious about them. But they are good servants to humans. They do their job without vanity or ego. Jesus came, the first time, as a humble servant. Throughout His entire life, from Bethlehem to Nazareth to Capernaum , He lived and dressed simply and modestly, despite Who and what He was, and the incredibly important and glorious mission that He was on.
