THE PROUD DONKEY.
BY the Storyman Himself.

There was once a very proud
donkey who lived in the same field
with rabbit and wild canary.
Whenever the forest fox ran
through the field the rabbit would
scurry into it's burrow and the wild
canary would fly into a tree. "Hee-
haw!" laughed the donkey, surely
| am the bravest animal in the
world. The rabbit runs into the
hole and the canary flies to the
top of the tree, but l stand my
ground and am not afraid"
The rabbit stuck his head out
of the hole and wrinkled his nose
as he said: Yes. indeed, you have
courage. l wish l knew what makes
you so brave, SO | could be like
you"
my bravery" said the donkey,
Lies in my ears. See how large
and beautiful they are"
ooh, no." said the rabbit, for
my ears are quite as large for my
size as yours are for you
Then" said the donkey, mo
doubt my bravery lies in my tail.
See how timber and useful it Is.
Even the flies fear it,"
ooh. yes" said the rabbit. who
had no tail at all to speak of, but
the wild canary said, Tee hee!
tee hee! l have a tail which is
larger for my size than is your
ragged rope of a tail for yours"
Then my bravery is in my hind
heels" said the donkey.
Very likely" said the canary;
but the rabbit said, Il hardly think
so, for | myself can kick quite hard
with my hind feet

voice in the world"
But the wild canary said: Your
voice is all noise"
Nonsense said the donkey an
grily, and as he say some travel
ers approaching he started to
"hee-haw" as hard as he could. The
canary started to thrill sweetly and
clearly and the rabbit was sur
prised, for though the canary's
voice was so small, still he could
hear 1t quite plainly in spite of the
donkey's terrible noise, just as you
can hear the thin, sweet song Of
the violin above the thunder of the
pipe organ.
Presently one of the people on
the road picked up club and
threw it at the donkey and said:
Quit your ugly bray, you beast;
you spoil the song of the canary"
The astonished donkey stopped
and the rabbit pulled his head
key could not see him laugh.
When he looked out again, the
donkey said, ITO tell the truth,
my friends, my superiority to all
other creatures is in my large

=. But the rabbit and the canary
answered in breath, How can
that be, when you have been
proved to be wrong so often this
morning."
BY this time the poor donkey
was so confused and angered that
he did not know what to answer
But (wOuld you believe it.? he
still believed that he was the
