Fun Without People!

An Old Fable Re-Told.  –  By Aesop Junior.

There was once a donkey – otherwise an ass – though a donkey can hardly have been even other-wise! Well, this ass (I do not speak sneeringly of him, for donkeys cannot help being asses), as I was saying, this creature lived in the strange country known as Animal-land, where there are no people, and we can only guess at the fun that goes on.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

In Mexico

Soon they will sup from a beautiful dish,

Modeled in clay, on tortillas and fish.

Then, when the stars are all lighted, perchance

Off they will run to the plaza to dance.

Songs in their hearts and sweet bells on their clothes;

Gay little Mexicans, give me a rose!
