About This Book

A balky mule arrives at a friendly farm and, across a series of short, humorous episodes, provokes trouble and resists work, testing the patience of a neighboring horse, the farmer and his helpers, and the other barnyard creatures. Each chapter presents a self-contained incident—kicks, balks, practical jokes, races, mishaps, and unexpected aid—that reveals the mule’s stubborn temperament and occasional softening. The collection balances playful animal antics with gentle lessons about cooperation, consequences, and the routines of farm life.
