Book Summary
Two stubborn mules in a serious bind are forced to work
together. Meanwhile, their helpless
owners watch and learn that sharing brings happiness.
Benny and Sally don't mind doing their farm chores and caring
for their mules, but they absolutely refuse to share anything.
Their mules, Bossy and Stiffy, imitate their owners' selfish ways by
stubbornly refusing to let anyone else ride them, and fussing whenever they work
together doing farm work.
Dad needs to teach the mules a lesson.
He ties them together which forces them to learn to cooperate in order to
eat. After much struggling, the
mules learn to work together, and teach their owners Benny and Sally that
sharing brings happiness.
This delightful story by Sommer shows the importance of
cooperation, tolerance and respect.
