World’s Smallest Donkey – level 1

22-12-2017 07:00

There is a donkey that is only 40 centimetres tall. He is the smallest donkey in the world. He cannot earn the world title yet. He is only eight months old. People will measure him again when he is one year old.

Another donkey is the world record holder. He is 40 centimetres taller than the smallest donkey. He is 10 years old.

The smallest donkey likes carrots. He lives with his owner in England. She says that he is a great pet. He is small enough to be inside her house.

Difficult words: earn (have), will (in the future), measure (see how big something is).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
