SUMMARY
Once there lived a donkey named Sylvester Duncan with his parents at Acorn Road in Outs dale. His hobby is to collect pebbles with unusual shape and color.
One rainy Saturday, he found an extraordinary one. It was flaming red, shiny and perfectly round, like a marble. As he was scrutinizing the pebble, he felt the cold rain sloping on his back. He wished the rain would stop. He was aware that rain don’t stop immediately so he was amazed when the rain vanished as if it never appeared. All his life he never had such so he tested if the pebble has magic. He desired for the rain to be back setting aside the pebble, but nothing happened. This time, while holding the pebble, he wished for the rain and that made the sky shoot down rain accompanied by lightning and thunder.
With great excitement, he led his way back home. He was startled to see a man and a hungry lion. He panicked then wished to be a rock. So, it happened. When the lion went away, he couldn’t be donkey again because the pebble was far and he’s unable to pick it up. He felt hopeless and helpless.
Meanwhile, Sylvester’s parents were worried of him. With all their might, they tried to find him but were in vain. Days and months passed by. Mr. And Mrs. Duncan felt miserable. Seasons have gone; Sylvester still lies as a rock on Strawberry Hill.
One day, Sylvester’s parents decided for a picnic, to ease their burden, on the hill. Mr. Duncan saw a pebble beside the rock. Knowing that his son likes collecting pebbles, he picked it up and put it on the rock. Sylvester doesn’t know it. He just wished to be a donkey again so he could be with his parents. Suddenly, he was back. His parents were surprised but filled with joy. There are a lot of questions in the parent’s mind but they just savor the moment of being together, of being reunited once again, for they knew there’s still a lot of time.
