In the spring of 2011, Jon Katz received a phone call that would challenge every idea he ever had about mercy and compassion. An animal control officer had found a neglected donkey on a farm in upstate New York, and she hoped that Jon and his wife, Maria, would be willing to adopt him. Jon wasn’t planning to add another animal to his home on Bedlam Farm, certainly not a very sick donkey. But the moment he saw the wrenching sight of Simon, he felt a powerful connection. Simon touched something very deep inside of him. Jon and Maria decided to take him in.
Once there lived a king and queen who ruled over a beautiful, peaceful land. They would have been perfectly happy except for one thing- if only they could have a child. The king searched out a wizard in the forest which would cast a spell and allow them to have a child. The wizard asked for 33 bags of gold in payment. The king thought that was too much, and then cheated the wizard by giving him lead instead. The wizard changed the spell when he found out and when the queen gave birth next spring, the baby was shaped like a donkey. Discover how the donkey regains his human form.

They eventually have to tangle with a band of robbers, but they win out at the end and start making some beautiful music.
