“Oh， I don‘t think I’d like that，” said the Donkey. “It ould look.I mean， the other Beasts might think.that is o say， I shouldn‘t feel.”
“What are you talking about？” said Shift， scratching imself the wrong way up as Apes do.
“I don’t think it would be respectful to the Great Lion， to slan himself， if an ass like me went about dressed up in a on.skin，” said Puzzle.
“Now don‘t stand arguing， please，” said Shift. “What does n ass like you know about things of that sort？ You know ou’re no good at thinking， Puzzle， so why don‘t you let me o your thinking for you？ Why don’t you treat me as I treat ou？ I don‘t think I can do everything. I know you’re better t some things than I am. That‘s why I let you go into the ool； I knew you’d do it better than me. But why can‘t I ave my turn when it comes to something I can do and youcan’t？ Am I never to be allowed to do anything？ Do be fair. Turn and turn about.”
