1. At the bottom of the lane lived a donkey. Harry and Dora knew him
well. They often met him going to town with a load of fruit, and they
saw him in the lane every day cropping the grass and thistles by the
hedge-side.

2. He knew them, too, for they would stop to pat his rough sides, or
give him an apple or a carrot.
