An Easter Story For Kids - The Easter Donkey Of Bethany
A
long time ago in the land of Bethany lived a little boy and his father. The
name of the boy was Nun, He was a kind and loving boy. Nun was loved by
everyone in the city. His father had so much joy and pride from his behavior,
for he was a good child.
Nun
got a very nice gift from his father when he turned 13. His father bought him a
donkey as a birthday present and Nun loved it very much. He washed and brushed
him and took him on a long walk to show off to his friends. Nun never allowed
anyone to ride his donkey, he felt he was a special donkey and so needs every
care he can get. This act sometimes gets his friends angry, but Nun never
bothered himself with such attitudes.
One
day, when Nun’s parents had gone into town to get somethings for the family,
two men came by the house and began untying Nun’s donkey from its post.
Normally, Nun’s donkey would have resisted these men from untying him, but this
time, he willingly allowed them to untie and was ready to go with them.
A
man named Lemuel, who was Nun’s neighbor questioned the young men, “Why are you
untying that donkey, is it yours?”
“The Master needs this donkey,” replied the
men and they continued with what they were doing.
It
didn’t take long for the conversation among them to get to Nun and his family.
The donkey was kept at a short distance from the main house. So, they quickly
went to where the donkey was kept, and behold, they saw the men from town
untying the donkey.
“What
do you want with my donkey?” Nun asked surprised.
The
men told him that the master had requested for it just as they had told his
neighbor earlier. “I knew you were a special donkey,” Nun said and let the men
go with his donkey.
Not
long after the meeting, a loud noise was heard in the streets and everyone
rushed out to see what was happening. Behold, it was the master riding on Nun’s
donkey, and everyone was shouting Hosanna! Hosanna! The master rode through the
streets and people were spreading palms and wrappers in front of the donkey.
The donkey looked at Nun and gave him a proud nod. Nun was very happy that his
donkey was been celebrated alongside the master.
