Question

Read the following extract and answer the questions.

I saw a donkey one day old.
His head was too big
For his neck to hold;
His legs were shaky
And long and loose,
They rocketed and staggered
And weren’t much use.
He tried to gambol
And frisk a bit,
But he wasn’t quite sure
Of the trick of it.
His queer little coat
Was soft and grey
And curled at his neck
In a lovely way
