Jacob’s Story

Featuring a donkey ride owner called Billy and a lame donkey called Jacob, this story aims to show that any  disabilities or handicaps can be overcome, (even if they are physical ones).

Jacob  proves to be something of a burden to to start off with.  In the longer term however, he comes to be a far bigger asset than Billy could ever have imagined, owing to a unique set of circumstances.

As the story unfolds Jacob becomes something of a hero and the resultant publicity is enough to change both their lives forever in a very positive way.  There is one final drama for them to both overcome before they can wholly benefit from their circumstances however

Besides being a story of hope, this story also seeks to show readers/listeners how being pleasant and good natured, often pays great dividends in the long-term, whereas being unpleasant and intolerant, generally has the reverse effect and can be a real disadvantage in life.  It has been designed to inspire and give comfort to young people faced with seemingly overwhelming difficulties in life, (including physical disabilities).
