Remarkably few donkeys are found in the northern parts of Germany. A German lady, newly arrived in this country, when sitting in a room overlooking a meadow in the suburbs of London, where some donkeys were grazing, on hearing one of them braying, exclaimed, "Why don't they oil that pump-handle ? It is quite shocking to hear that horrible noise every time anybody comes to fetch water."
