Drake the donkey was happily munching on grass in the fields when two mischievous birds flew down to chat with him. These birds had a sneaky plan—they wanted to trick the donkey into eating something gross, just for a good laugh.
The birds told the donkey that they could turn him into a bird so he could soar through the skies. They claimed they used to be donkeys too and that eating a special food would transform him. The donkey wasn’t easily fooled, but he decided to play along with their trick.
The birds thought that they had managed to trick the donkey. They looked at each other smiling and excitedly told the donkey, “follow us”.
The birds led the donkey to a dark cave just outside town, saying that the special food was inside. As they ventured deeper, the donkey saw piles of bat poop. The birds excitedly pointed to it and said, “This is the magical food that will turn you into a bird!”
The clever donkey asked the birds to taste the “special food” first, to prove it was safe. The birds, not wanting to seem like they were tricking him, agreed and took a taste of the bat poop.
The sight of them eating it was so funny that the donkey couldn’t help but laugh at the 2 birds.
Soon, all the bats in the cave woke up and joined in the laughter, turning the cave into a giggling party!
It was then that the birds realized they had just been outsmarted.
