最屘，佢決定接受呢個仔，做佢嘅媽咪。
最後，她決定接受這個孩子，做他的媽媽。
But finally she had to accept that he was her child and she was his mother.
Now, if the child had stayed that same, small size, everything might have been different. But the donkey child grew and grew until he could no longer fit on his mother’s back.

Confusion and anger built up inside Donkey. He couldn’t do this and he couldn’t do that. He couldn’t be like this and he couldn’t be like that.
He became so angry that, one day, he kicked his mother to the ground.

Curling himself into a tight ball, he fell into a deep and troubled sleep.
