4 - 7 let

Long ago, Donkey had trouble saying how he felt.

When he was sad—he froze. When he was worried—he mumbled. But when he was *angry*…

He STOMPED.

“Don’t take my snacks!” *STOMP!* “Don’t mess my hay!” *STOMP! STOMP!*

“Why don’t you *say* what’s wrong?” asked Owl.

“I... I...” *STOMP!*

He tried to explain. He got flustered. Words tangled. Ears twisted. *STOMP STOMP STOMP!*

One day, Monkey tripped over his tail.

Donkey’s eyes twitched. He raised a hoof.

*STOMP.* *STOMP–STOMP.* *STOMP–STOMP–STOMP!*

Flamingo blinked. “Is... is he tap dancing?”

“No,” said Owl, “he’s donkey mad.”

The forest grew quiet. Everyone listened.

Donkey stomped in patterns. *Slow… fast… pause…* Each stomp had a feeling.

He found his rhythm. His *foot* became his voice.

Soon, the animals knew the language of stomps.

From that day on, Donkey stomped when angry—but also when serious, silly, or *super proud.*

And that’s why donkeys stomp when angry—because when words don’t work, hooves can talk.

(*But just so you know—this tale is just for fun. Real donkeys stomp for all sorts of reasons, not emotional poetry!*)
