Gerald Durrell. My family and other animals (№ 212438)

The next morning Larry came in a very bad mood, because one farmer tied a donkey near the fence of our garden. From time to time the donkey tossed his head and drawl shouting his hysterical voice.
- Well think! - Larry said. - Isn't it laughable that future generations will be deprived of my books just because some brainless idiot decided to tie this vile beast pack right under my window.
'Yes, dear,' replied the mother. - Why you don't take him if he's stopping you?
- Dear mom, I don't have time to chase donkeys through the olive groves. I launched his book on the history of Christianity. What do you think I could still do it?
