Excerpt from The Story of a Nodding Donkey The Nodding Donkey dated his birth from the day he received the beautiful coat of varnish in the workshop of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Before that he was just some pieces of wood, glued to gether. His head was not glued on, how ever, but was fastened in such a manner that with the least motion the Donkey could nod it up and down, and also side wise.
