This is a story about a mule named Hemionus which means Jackass in Greek. This is not only a tender story, but also an informative one.
The story is about a mule who is born to good parents on a nice farm. During the time on the farm, he befriends a young man named Melville. They became friends. Melville leaves and tells Hemi that once he goes to college and gets his degree and his own place he will come back to get him. After Melville leaves, Hemi also leaves because he is chosen to be the Army football mascot. Once that Hemi realizes he doesn't want to be a mascot, even how wonderful he is taken of, he wants to get back to Melville. The story is about Hemi trying to get back to his friend.
What is also wonderful about this story is that the author also teaches you a little about mules.
A good book.
