    donkey doesn’t tie into any fairytales

    The donkey, therefore, was brought up and grew bigger, and his ears grew up beautifully high and straight. He was, however, of a merry disposition, jumped about, played and had especial pleasure in music, so that he went to a celebrated musician and said, “Teach me thine art, that I may play the lute as well as thou dost.” (The Donkey by the Brothers Grimm)

    It costs $0 to lie on the internet, reminder.

      Oh, no, no, no.
      It’s the opposite.
      It’s gives “you” monies to lie on the inter of webs (well, it can give you money, but some go for glory too & let the megacorps get the gold pile). Every shitty thing is monetized.

      Thats why we lemmy over here.

      You know, this did tickle my curiosity, cause I also did not know what fairy tale Donkey was supposed to be from, and I’ve heard that he wasn’t from any fairytale in the past too. Thank you for this, I have a copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales at home, I’ll need to check this story out when I get back.
