As long as he could remember Dumb was always carrying clothes. He waited patiently until all the clothes were washed and dried.

Dumb was getting a little tired of doing the same thing every single day. But he was careful to keep his thoughts a secret.

His master must never know how he hated being a beast of burden. Always forced to an uneventful life.

If I could be free to roam in the forest with my friends.... play with the deer..... they even look a little like me.
