The Lost Donkey Who Saved Christmas Derek W Smith

All Roy wanted for Christmas was a nice warm blanket to wrap around him and keep the cold out. Unfortunately, Farmer William Charles, his lifelong friend, who had promised to bring Roy one of his very own blankets, had fallen asleep in front of the wonderful hot log fire. Try as he might, Roy kicked and kicked at the farmhouse door, but he just couldn't wake him. With his head hanging low, Roy was just about to go back into the cold barn when a spark of an idea came to his mind.



If he followed the winding road for about a mile and a half, he would come to a steep hill. Now, just over that hill on the other side, down in the valley is a place called Wood Meadow Farm and Farmer Pete's state-of-the-art stables with all mod cons.
