I couldn’t resist reading the story about Amos the donkey from Minnesota who fell into a well.
The funny thing was, when I typed it into the search engine to read more about it, the first several entries were about a famous parable of the same name- A donkey that fell in the well!
Of course I read the parable, which did go a little differently than Amo’s story. The basic outcome, however, was the same. Donkey safely out of the well and hopefully (per his owner) having learned a lesson.
The part I found the most charming was Amos’s owner giving him a little lecture about wandering off as he led him back on a rope. That and the bubble bath he gave Amos to sooth his shattered pride and sore bottom.
It sounds like Amos lives the good life.
I believe a donkey face is one of the most endearing in the animal kingdom, so of course I had to make some donkey jewelry. That’s one thing I especially enjoy about working as an artist – I have the option to make whatever suits my fancy. Donkeys happen to be one of the animals that do for me!
