    Once upon a time, in a little village nestled between lush green meadows, lived a clever donkey named Doodle. Doodle was unlike any other donkey. He was always brimming with energy, his eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he had a knack for solving problems.

    Doodle belonged to a kind-hearted farmer named Old Joe. Old Joe was a gentle soul who loved all his animals, but Doodle held a special place in his heart. The two shared a bond beyond the usual farmer-donkey relationship.

    One day, Old Joe's farm was visited by a mischievous fox named Freddy. Freddy was known for his sly nature and loved causing trouble for the villagers. He had his eyes set on Old Joe's chicken coop.

    Doodle, always alert, spotted Freddy sneaking towards the chicken coop. Realizing the danger, he devised a clever plan to protect his friends, the chickens.

    Doodle started trotting around the chicken coop, making loud noises. This attracted Old Joe's attention, who came rushing out to see what was causing the commotion.

    Seeing Old Joe, Freddy was scared and ran away, leaving behind his plans. The chickens were safe, and Old Joe thanked Doodle for his timely intervention.

    Over time, Doodle outsmarted Freddy's tricks time and again, saving the farm from various troubles. His intelligence and wit made him a hero among the villagers.

    The village children loved Doodle and often visited the farm to play with him. Doodle enjoyed their company and would entertain them with his playful antics.

    Old Joe, feeling proud of Doodle, often said, "Doodle isn't just a donkey, he's a friend, a guardian and a hero. We are lucky to have him."

    Doodle continued to live happily in the village, always ready to protect his friends and solve problems with his cleverness. His tales of wit and bravery were told over and over, inspiring the children of the village.

    And so, Doodle, the clever donkey, became a legend in his own right. His stories taught the children that size and strength are not the only measures of courage; brains and a kind heart are just as important.

    Doodle's tale is a reminder that everyone has the capacity for cleverness and bravery. Just like Doodle, we can use our unique abilities to help others and make the world a better place.
