Now I had some (building) work to do and needed two donkeys. So I reached the plateau, but whenever I came across a donkey, it wheezed at me – they were so wild! While I was looking for a suitable donkey, I came across one little donkey mare that had a little foal with it. And I managed to corner it and, with God’s help, I caught it’ (CSOL III 3:8)
