"The Tale of Two Donkeys" by Denys Johnson-Davies narrates the adventures of two contrasting donkeys living in Ethiopia. One donkey is proud and confident, belonging to a royal family, while the other is humble and meek, serving a common farmer. Through their experiences, they face challenges and discover the meaning of friendship, loyalty, and the true essence of worth beyond status. As their paths intertwine, they embark on a journey that highlights the value of kindness and the importance of inner strength over external appearances. The story ultimately conveys a heartwarming message about embracing one's true self. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
