Ascension : Kids Klub
Submitted by The Islander (Sarah Coverdale) 17.01.2008 (Article Archived on 31.01.2008)

Back at school again – never mind – just remember there are only 40 school days until Easter and we have a half term to fit in too!!! But there is a lot to do before then isn’t there!


 



Ok, Donkeys this week –  I spotted a very young donkey this morning trying to get on it’s feet for maybe the first time ever, and then on the way home from town, it was stood next to it’s mum as if it had been no problem trying to get up and going!  I do like to see the Donkeys on Ascension and I bet they could tell one or two tales about things that have gone on here.  Their history goes back right to the days when the island was still getting started as a place for working and living and I bet back then those donkeys had to work very hard.  In fact they tried to introduce horses on the island but they just couldn’t take the strain or the heat.


 


Donkeys are lucky for some I guess – but if you are dreaming about Donkeys be cautious…


To dream of a donkey braying in your face means that you are about to be publicly insulted, if you dream about leading a Donkey by it’s halter you will be master of every situation and you will lead girls into your way of seeing things by flattery!
