And they also warn...
One WITNESS: one LIAR;
More WITNESSES: all LIARS!
More WITNESSES: all LIARS!
To which I'd like to add a Greek proverb of my own devising...
There is little to choose between the
BROKEN BOAT
and the
TETHERED DONKEY!
BROKEN BOAT
and the
TETHERED DONKEY!
As with anywhere, Kalymnos can be a place of striking contrasts and this donkey was clearly a far less happy animal than the contented creature pictured the other day. Life can, after all, be good or bad for any of us - even donkeys...

I can't see the rope tethering the donkey!... Did it have its front paws tied together as they do in Morocco with camels? (I don't mean camels, but I can't think of the English word for dromadaires!)
Lovely photo nevertheless.
Too true. A friend is just back from China where a trip to the zoo turned very quickly from a pleasant day out to a mini horror show.
SUZANNE - The tether is on the hoof that looks most awkward. In the full-on heat of the midday sun, the animal's evident distress was terrible...
I stayed in Emborios a few years ago and remember seeing two little cats. One was fine, but the other - probably a brother or sister - was so poorly and seemed to be about to die.
