The Story of a Nodding Donkey

by Laura Lee Hope

In the heart of Texas, amidst the vast oil fields, a lone nodding donkey named Ned dreams of a life beyond the constant pumping of crude. Ned's rhythmic dance, a familiar sight against the rugged landscape, conceals a yearning for adventure and camaraderie. One day, a curious young boy named Billy stumbles upon Ned's lonely existence. Billy, with his boundless imagination and adventurous spirit, sees in Ned a kindred spirit, a fellow dreamer trapped in a monotonous routine. Together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, challenging the limitations of their perceived roles in the world.
