The Two Donkeys
Once upon atime there were two donkeys that were tied together.
They both really wanted to eat but they just couldn't reach so they just pulled.
They were very hungry and wanted to eat somthing.
and pulled hopeing that the rope would strech but it wouldn't. The donkeys just gave up and fell in a big heep.
But they couldn't eat the bush because it was to far away.
because they couldn't reach the donkey just sat and introduced each ather propelry and tried to think of a way to eat?
They pulled and pulled until they gave in.
Then one suddenly clicked and said "now that were friends why don't we just stand next to each ather and take turns"so they did,
Then they both decided to eat the same bush together.
They decided they'd eaten all they could from the other bush so they moved to the next and carried on all day.
The End

Once apon a time there lived to donkey left and right they had got tied up together. On both side were two nice yummy flowers.

 Left    Right
One day, the fight got really bad and it was only over which bush to eat for dinner. One donkey went one way and the other donkey went the other way.
they both stood up and walked away to wards the plant but the had forgot they were tied up together
They both pulled and pulled to get to the bushs. The rope got pulled so much it hurt there neck and it just about broke there rope.
they pulled and pulled but stell in the same place and they tried again and again.
So the donkeys said sorry to each other. and one said to the other I will come to your bush to eat my dinner if you will join me and my bush afterward and have some dersset.
they tried to brack free but it didn't work so as they say try try again.
So they did that and had there dinner at one bush and dersset at the other.
then they finally thought to go together to one bush and eat and they thought it was yummy.
The donkeys then said to each other lets never fight again and they didn't.
When the other bush was gone they started on the other bush and the were happy as can be.
