Answer 1

Answer:

Nicholas Nye was old, lean (bent down) and thin, lame of a leg and grey coloured donkey. ... Sometimes, he seemed to stoop (bend down) and sigh (take a long breath) as if he wanted to release the tension by calling himself 'Poor Nicholas Nye'. He did not get sufficient grass there, so his body was weak and without energy.
