Význam

Asses also feel very respectable as a race, and when they run in flocks hither and thither in so-called jollity, it is understood to be a bad sign for human society.

Osli si jako zvířecí druh připadají velice důstojní, a když ve své takzvané radosti pobíhají ve stádech sem a tam, je to pro lidskou společnost špatné znamení.
