A mule on your foot is better than a welly on the roof

“Donkeys make you patient” so I read.

It’s like saying that having more than one sibling makes you the world’s best diplomat.

A donkey – as opposed to a sibling – will move or not, and if it doesn’t want to, it won’t. Easy isn’t it? Except mankind expects to exert will on anyone – until you meet a donkey. What’s the choice BUT being patient? Unless you want to carry your own load.
