Donkey Runs Away From Home

In a whimsical countryside, small homes dot the rolling hills, trees and flowers stretch to the sky, chickens peck at the ground, a dog naps, and laundry dries in the breeze. Sneaking away from this pleasant scene is the donkey. He seems to tiptoe along the path glancing behind him to make sure no one notices his retreat. What do you think the donkey is up to?
