Donkey Likes McLaren – level 1

02-10-2017 15:00

One man from Germany drives an expensive car. It is a McLaren. A McLaren costs more than €140,000.

One time, the man parks against a donkey enclosure. His car is orange. A donkey thinks that maybe it is a carrot. It tries to eat the car. It scratches it.

The driver comes back to his car. He sees the scratch. He wants the donkey’s owner to give him €5,000. The donkey’s owner does not give the money to him. The driver calls the police.

Difficult words: enclosure (a closed area for an animal), scratch (break the surface a little), owner (a person who owns – has something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
