Once a donkey saw a donkey in a stream two reflections: his own and PET horses. Pat ears were small and neat, and the donkey had large and long, like burdocks. The donkey decided that because of this he had a funny and ridiculous look. He sad, lost peace and began to look for help from friends and neighbors from the farm Mr. Smith. Everyone readily showed him how to wear his ears correctly, and everyone offered to do this in his own way. The dog Hector advised to hang his ears down, the sheep of the curl ordered to arrange them to the sides, and the pork of the rose - to keep them forward. The donkey was obediently followed by these advice and now and then fell into unpleasant and even dangerous situations. He was already completely desperate, but then a little girl passed by, who easily resolved all his doubts. The ears of the donkey donkey returned to their place, and he finally became the happiest donkey in the world.

The story about the donkey donkey originally published with black and white illustrations with a feather and mascara and only a few years after a few years, Roger Duvoisen painted their delicate watercolor. The artist carefully worked his heroes first in the circuit, and then strengthened their images with the help of color. With his inherent humor, he managed to masterfully convey the characters of the characters - the owner of Mr. Smith, his brother, the donkey of the donkey and other inhabitants of the farm.
