Ups and Downs of a Donkey's Life

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But what has all this to do with our donkey-show? You wonder, children. Well, I only waited to tell you who it was that took it in hand, otherwise you never would believe that such a thing could happen near our old town, where nothing was ever done that had not been done over and over again, and year after year, before our time. We never had had a donkey show, therefore why have a donkey-show now? Such was the general feeling; but Miss Marjorie thought otherwise; therefore it was placarded all about and everywhere for miles round, that she would give prizes to the owners of the half-dozen best donkeys, and a silver medal to the best animal exhibited at Marjoram Grange Show, on Thursday, the sixth of June.
