Donkey Likes McLaren – level 3

02-10-2017 15:00

In Germany, A McLaren driver parked his expensive car right against a donkey’s enclosure, only to find later that the animal had chomped on the car’s rear bumper, scratching the fancy paint work.

The cost of a McLaren sports car starts off at around €140,000, and the driver of the car with a few scratches asked the owner of the donkey for €5,000. Then the McLaren owner filed a complaint after the donkey’s owner, who thinks that the driver should have found a better parking spot, refused to pay him.

Police suggested that Vitus the donkey may have mistaken the bumper for a carrot, owing to its orange colour.

Difficult words: enclosure (an area surrounded by a barrier), chomp (chew, eat), rear (back), fancy (expensive, high-class, posh), file (apply, put in, register).
