The donkey's legs were broken, and when a throng of Arabs, who gathered at the Spaniard's cry, had cut away its panniers and dragged it out of the water on to the paving-stones of the street, the film covered its eyes, and in a moment it was dead. At that the man knelt down beside it, and patted it on its neck, and called on it by its name, as if unwilling to believe that it was gone.
Come, we'll go home." The Police was combing its hair with a half-toothless piece of comb, and we turned to go. But it was vain. Ere any of our young and eager legs could climb into the cart the Police had seized the donkey's bridle. We could not desert our noble steed and besides, it wasn't really ours, but Bates's, and this made any hope of flight quite a forlorn one.
He stooped, and, placing his great palm under the donkey's belly, he raised the animal in one hand, and poised him at the ceiling, swaying him here and there as if he had been a weathervane in a high and varying wind.
When the feat was accomplished, and he stood safely out in the cañon, the expressions of love, and of congratulation upon his cleverness, which Pablo lavished upon him were enough to have turned completely a less serious-minded donkey's head.

"Frisky, you are a bad squirrel to break Joe's Donkey!" and she shook her finger at the chattering little animal, who, perched on the shelf, was eating the nut the boy had given him. "Oh, Mother! Frisky didn't mean to do it," said Joe.
Then he exclaimed, 'Dschemila, let your head become a donkey's head, and your hair fur! But when it was done, Dschemil looked at her in horror, and said, 'She is really a donkey, and not a woman at all! And he left her, and went home. For two days poor Dschemila wandered about alone, weeping bitterly.
When I had eaten this I straightened his head to indicate that I had been there, and then I departed. Aunt Claire enjoyed helping us with the "Donkey's Skin"; she worked enthusiastically over the costumes and each day I gave her some task.
Thigh deep in the lush grasses of the swamp was an animal with a huge grey head, like a donkey's, staring foolishly in their direction a cow moose. With a tremendous commotion that awoke echoes in the forest she tore herself from the mud and disappeared, followed by her panic-stricken offspring, a caricature of herself....
