One day Nick and his friend went out for a walk. On the way they saw a lot of people. They went up and had a look. Oh, dear!
What did they see? There was a donkey(驴) in the middle of the road. It would not move. The cars and buses could not get past.
Then a policeman came. “Whose donkey is this?” he asked. “It’s mine,” said a farmer, “but I can’t make it move. ” The farmer and the policeman did their best to make the donkey go, but it did not move at all. Many people watched and laughed, but the drivers of the cars and buses were worried. “We can’t make the donkey go,” the farmer and the policeman said. “What shall we do?” “Give me some vegetables!” Nick said.
Nick showed the vegetables to the donkey. When the donkey saw the vegetables, it walked after Nick. All the cars and buses could go at last. “It’s a good idea, Nick,” said his friend.
