Where Did I Park My Donkey

If you have ever had trouble finding your car
in a parking lot then you’ll understand the frustration
this man experiences as he tries to remember
where he parked his donkey.
Many donkeys look similar so when they are all
parked together it can be very confusing
to find your donkey.
