Missing: This worker has big ears, large nostrils and a tuft of hair on his head. Many people think he is stupid and stubborn but he is in fact intelligent and focused. APPROACH WITH CAUTION. Witnesses say he is in the later stages of his 30-odd year life, because he was clearly 'graying'.When this worker goes missing, fields are not plowed, rubbish starts piling up and building materials don't make it to half-finished huts or houses. In Burkina Faso, you often hear about such and such who is in trouble because they have lost their means of income: the donkey.
They are a target for thieves, but they also go AWOL on their own accord if they have a bad owner and an opportunity to escape presents itself (...not so stupid after all).
They are used extensively in the fields, as a cheaper source of labour than oxen and they have many attractive work qualities, such as tough hooves which don't require horse shoes. They also have a great poker face which makes them good with company secrets.
If you do see this missing worker, please contact us right away, as there are plenty of people here looking for their lost donkey.
