The donkey rushed to the farmer began wagging his tail vigorously, and knocked off all the china from the table. He, then, started jumping around and frolicking like a little dog and finally plonked himself down on the farmer’s lap. The shocked farmer yelled for help. The farmhands came running in, dragged the donkey off to his stable, and gave him a beating he wouldn’t forget for the rest of his life. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
