    There once was a mischievous boy named Jack who loved to pull pranks on the girls in his town.

    Jack's pranks were often harmless, but one day he took it too far by ridiculing a girl named Agnes.

    Unknown to Jack, Agnes had a special power. Outraged by his behaviour, she decided to teach him a lesson.

    Agnes cast a spell on Jack, turning him into a donkey. Jack watched in horror as his body started changing.

    His ears grew long and his hands transformed into hooves. He dropped to his fours, braying loudly.

    In panic, Jack kicked his hind legs, trashing the room and shedding his clothes. His human form was disappearing.

    His voice was replaced by a bray, and his face elongated into a muzzle. Jack was now completely a donkey.

    Jack's parents, unable to recognize him, were terrified of the donkey destroying their home.

    They decided to send Jack, now a donkey, into the wild, thinking he was a wild animal.

    Jack was heartbroken. He longed for his old life, realizing how much he had taken for granted.

    He missed his comfortable bed, his mother's cooking, and even the girls he used to tease.

    As a donkey, Jack had to forage for food, sleep in the cold, and fend off predators.

    One day, while looking for food, Jack stumbled upon a wise old owl.

    The owl, seeing the donkey's sadness, asked him what was wrong. Jack brayed, trying to explain his predicament.

    To his surprise, the owl understood him. It knew of Agnes and her powers and offered to help Jack.

    The owl guided Jack back to the town to find Agnes, hoping she could reverse the spell.

    Jack found Agnes playing near the river. He approached her, trying to look as harmless as possible.

    Agnes recognized Jack and, seeing his remorse, decided to give him a chance.

    She asked Jack to promise that he would respect all people, regardless of their gender.

    Jack brayed in agreement, nodding his head. He was ready to change his ways.

    Agnes reversed the spell. Jack's body started changing back, his hooves turned into hands and his long ears shrunk.

    He stood up on two legs and his voice returned. Jack was a boy again, but he was different.

    Jack thanked Agnes, promising to keep his word. He returned home, surprising his parents with his return.

    Jack changed his ways, treating everyone with respect. He even apologized to all the girls he had teased before.

    He learned to appreciate his life and never took anything for granted again. Jack had truly changed.

    Agnes, seeing Jack's transformation, was proud. She knew she had done the right thing.

    The owl, watching from afar, was pleased. It knew Jack had learned a valuable lesson.

    Jack's story spread throughout the town. He became a symbol of change and respect.

    The town's people started treating each other better, inspired by Jack's transformation.

    Jack never forgot his time as a donkey. It was a reminder of his past mistakes and the importance of respect.

    And so, Jack lived the rest of his life, a changed boy, always mindful of his actions.

    As for Agnes, she continued to use her powers for good, helping those who needed it.

    The owl kept watch over the town, ensuring peace and harmony among its inhabitants.

    And so, Jack's story became a legend in the town, a tale of transformation and respect.

    Jack's tale served as a reminder to all about the importance of respect and the power of change.
