Neither the Wizard of Oz nor the Scarecrow's ever used them. The last person to put anyone in the dungeons before today was Oz Pastoria II's mother, Ozma Scarbel. This won't be on the test.

If you don't have anything important to do, go watch Leo (2023) from Netflix. It's a good one and there's surely something meaningful for you regardless where you're at in life
I've been thinking about famous horses. It's really mush easier to become a famous human than to become a famous horse. Humans can become noteworthy historical figures by doing lots of different things. If you're a horse, as far as I can tell, there's really only four ways of becoming famous.

No one in our world can work at a job of that sort as Dwarfs and Talking Moles work in Narnia; but then, of course, Moles and Dwarfs don't look on it as work. They like digging.

I was reading Moomin for the very first time while drawing this and feel quite lucky to be experiencing this wonderful world now. I can only imagine that it hits much differently than if I had read it as a child.
Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials. But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.
Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.
Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”
Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”
The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”
"No," he said.
When your religion resembles Shrek, you don't get to demand "respect" for it.
Killing the world's only talking donkey also seems like a poor strategy.
