The Old Man and the Ass TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text <br> An old man, riding on his ass,<br> Had found a spot of thrifty grass,<br> And there turn'd loose his weary beast.<br> Old Grizzle, pleased with such a feast,<br> Flung up his heels, and caper'd round,<br> Then roll'd and rubb'd upon the ground,<br> And frisk'd and browsed and bray'd,<br> And many a clean spot made.
