“Alright, let’s get this straight. I’m Bartholomew, a donkey of discerning taste. Donkeys are known for their intelligence, their patience, their…well, their stubbornness. But I’m a modern donkey. I’m hip. I’m with the times. So, when my human (who, let’s be honest, could use a bit more direction in his life) suggested a ‘scenic route’ to the market, I was all for it.
“Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been fascinated by these ‘subway’ things. All those tunnels, those flashing lights, the constant rumble… it’s like a giant, underground amusement park! So, when we stumbled upon this intriguing hole in the ground (conveniently located next to a rather delicious-looking pile of discarded vegetables) – I believe it was called Wong Chuk Hang Station? – I decided to investigate.
“Let me tell you, those escalators were a challenge. I think I strained a muscle in my bray. And the sheer volume of humans! They all seemed so confused, pointing and muttering. I tried to explain that I was simply conducting important market research, but they didn’t seem to understand.
“The train itself was an experience. I opted for a window seat, naturally. The views were…well, let’s just say ‘unique.’ I did try to engage some of the other passengers in conversation, but they seemed more interested in staring at me than discussing the latest donkey gossip.
“One elderly lady, bless her heart, offered me a piece of pineapple. I politely declined, of course. A donkey of my stature doesn’t just gobble down pineapple from strangers. Besides, I had my eye on a particularly tempting bag of carrots abandoned under a seat.
“The journey was surprisingly eventful. We passed through a station with a rather impressive mural depicting what appeared to be a disgruntled-looking dragon (I believe it was called Central Station?). And then there was this other station, with a giant statue of a Buddha. Quite serene, actually. I almost dozed off.
“Eventually, my human (who, I’m convinced, was enjoying the attention) decided it was time to leave. I must admit, I was a little disappointed. I was just getting into the swing of things. I was even considering applying for a part-time job as a station mascot. Think of the carrots!
“But then, as we were exiting the station, I spotted it. A stray carrot, nestled amongst the discarded newspapers. It was fate! I discreetly nudged it with my nose and gobbled it down with satisfaction. A fitting end to a most memorable day.
“So, there you have it. My unexpected adventure on the MTR. It wasn’t exactly the market run I had envisioned, but it certainly was…interesting. And I’m pretty sure I’m now the most famous donkey in Hong Kong. Not bad for a day’s work.”
