When I tell people, as I now tell you, that now comes a story about three donkeys in heaven, it has some odd effects. People who have always said that they don't believe in heaven, are rather offended at the thought that donkeys should be allowed in. It seems very illogical. If heaven is for people who are rather nice, why not for donkeys, who in the main are nicer than people? Well, most animals are, don't you agree? Anyway, three donkeys spending an afternoon together in heaven. They'd all been there a very long time, centuries. By accident they discovered that they'd all come from the same part of the world, and had arrived in heaven at roughly, give or take a few years, the same time. Very pleasant and interesting for them. They all looked rather alike. Well, donkeys do. They were lying in the shade. One of them was telling his story, and the other two were listening, quietly. As perhaps, you are.
