The video shows a book with an illustration of a donkey on the left page and text on the right page. The donkey is standing on its hind legs and appears to be looking into a mirror. The text tells a story about a young lordling who went out walking full of thought and came to a well. He looked into the mirror and saw his donkey's form. The donkey was so distressed about it that he went out into the wide world and only took with him one faithful companion.
