My dad sounded just like that sketch. He would tell about when he was a kid the kids that didn’t live in town rode their horses to school but he had to ride a donkey.

One day when he was telling that story my aunt was there and she spoke up and told on him. The reason he had to ride a donkey was because he was given a horse to ride to school and during recess he and the other boys would make the horse buck so they could ride a bucking horse. My grandfather took his horse away and made him ride a donkey to school as punishment for mistreating the horse.

Glad you enjoyed it. I live in the States but spend a year in the Yorkshire area for a year (Leeds) so it has a special place in my memory.
