Pirrewit and the Donkey

On a sunny spring day, as the flowers gently swayed in the breeze, Pirrewit, our small but brave gnome, walked through the forest in search of new adventures. He loved to help wherever he could, and today, he felt something special was about to happen.

As he frolicked through the forest, he saw a small donkey peacefully grazing in the distance. The donkey looked tired but content. Pirrewit, ever curious, approached gently and began to speak softly. “Hello, dear donkey, you look so wise and thoughtful. May I know your name?“

The donkey looked up and smiled at Pirrewit. “I am Eli, the donkey who had the honor of carrying Jesus during his entry into Jerusalem. Now, I’m on my way back to my stable, but I’m enjoying the peace here in your beautiful forest.”

Pirrewit’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “What an honor it must have been, Eli! Could you please tell me more about your journey? And maybe, if you’re tired, I can help you find your way home.”

Eli nodded and began to tell his story about the people waving palm branches and shouting ‘Hosanna,’ and how special he felt. Pirrewit listened attentively and learned about kindness, humility, and the joy of serving.

After the story, Eli stood up, and Pirrewit, determined to help, said, “Eli, I’ll accompany you to your stable. Along the way, we can watch the sunset together and maybe even make some new friends!“

So, Pirrewit and Eli started their journey back to Eli’s stable. Along the way, they met many forest animals fascinated by Eli’s story and the special task he had accomplished. They offered to help, and soon, they formed a cheerful procession, all working together to bring Eli safely home.

When they finally arrived, Eli was overwhelmed with gratitude. “Thank you, Pirrewit, and all my new friends. Because of your kindness and cooperation, I feel truly at home.”

Pirrewit smiled. “Eli, we’re all on our way somewhere, and sometimes the journey is easier with friends by your side. Always remember, even the smallest acts of kindness can bring the greatest joy.“

And so, a beautiful day in the forest ended, filled with lessons about friendship, humility, and the power of collaboration. Pirrewit looked at the stars and knew this was an adventure he would never forget.

Here’s the drawing of the donkey, Eli, peacefully grazing in the forest. It seems to capture a perfect moment of calm and peace. What do you think Eli is thinking while standing there?

. Happy to find some peace

That sounds like a beautiful thought. Eli is surely enjoying the quiet beauty of the forest, a welcome change after the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem. Perhaps he’s also thinking about the friends he’s made along the way and the adventures he’s experienced. It’s a moment for Eli to reflect and bask in the peace that nature offers. A wonderful reminder of the journey he’s undertaken and the special role he played.

This drawing captures Pirrewit and his friend, on their special journey through the forest. Notice how happy they are together? Perhaps you can even come up with your own adventure that they could have on the way!

Till tomorrow! 👋
