Small Blue

 A village donkey dropped its foal two hundred yards from my house on Thursday. I met it still shocked; slick with amneotic fluid, already on social media judging by the number of phones present. On my way back from the village, fifteen minutes later, it was trying to get up on its feet. Three legs went well, the fourth was still a hurdle. Mum encouraged it, carefully.
