There are braying things in this country that ought

suggests about the thing.
The mule is part horse and part jackass. That's
why he brays dsturbs the and quiet Of the
neghborhood. In America is considerable number of
socaled human beings who part American and part

The mule isn't to be blamed for braytng That is
his nature and he doesn't any better Moreover,
he has intention of harming anybody or anything
when he brays BY much is the mule to be respected
