One Very Hot Day
|
One very hot day in a very hot summer, some donkeys were carrying corn in sacks on their backs and they carried these packs from the field to be stored in the barn. The sun was so hot and the air was so dry that the corn that the donkeys were hauling was suddenly popping and drifting and dropping as if it were snow that were falling. It seems that the donkeys were sure it was snow that descended around them in drifts. For, next thing you know, it was twenty below, and the donkeys were all frozen stiff. In spite of the fact they were frozen to death, they are now safely back in their barn and feeling much better; they've each got a sweater that somebody knit from this yarn. |
