Donkeys are the most abused and insulted animals by humans, and even animal protection associations have never honored them. The only honor donkeys have ever received in history came from an emperor. Napoleon ordered during his Egyptian campaign, "Let the donkeys and scholars walk in the middle of the troop!" It seems Napoleon considered donkeys and scholars on the same level. However, whether in ancient works like The Golden Ass or modern tales like The Donkey Prince, donkeys have always been tragic protagonists in literature. Frequently appearing in the spotlight, they seem to have had their moment of fortune, yet misfortune often befalls them.
