The donkey held his head over the stable door <br />and he looked so sad because there was no hay on <br />the floor. He was cold and hungry and no one came to <br />his ade and he was almost sure that his heart would fade <br />Then he looked up and he saw a star light up the sky, <br />at once he knew that his life had been given another try. <br />The stable door opened in the light of the star and the <br />donkey followed the light but he did not know how far <br />he would walk but he just followed the star. <br />' Hello little donky' said a kind sweet voice can I ride <br />upon your back because I have no other choice. <br />The donkey bowed to the lady as she climbed upon <br />his back and they followed the star until they came to a shack. <br />The man that was with her was old and grey and he also <br />was tired because he had traveled a long way <br />In the shack the donkey found hay that was warm <br />and the lady had a child our saviour born.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-donkey-tale/
