WHY DONKEY WAS IN CLOVER
classed as Unusual" Though
Possibly Not "Cruel."

Not very long ago there lived in
England an old man who always rode
on a donkey to his daily work, and
tethered him while he labored on the
roads or wherever else he might be.
1t had been pretty plainly limited to
him by one of the local landowners
that he was suspected of putting 1t
In the fields to Craze at other peoples
expense.
"Eh, squire, / cud ma do SIGH a thing,
Ter my donkey won't eat nowt but net
ICES an thistles.''
One day the gentleman was riding
along the road. when he saw the old
fellow at work and the donkey up to
his knees In one of his clover fields
feeding Iuxuriously.
"Halloa, joint" said he. 81 under
stood you to say your donkey would
eat nothing but nettles and thistles?"
Aye" said John, but he's been
misbehavin' hisself, sir. He nearly
kicked me i tn chest just now, SO /
put him there to punish him!"
