Once upon a time...

an old donkey was ill- treated by his master. Tired of such unkindness, he decided to run away, and when he heard that Bremen was looking for singers with the town band, he decided that someone with a fine braying voice like his might be accepted.

There were formerly a man and a woman living in the parish of Llanlavan, in the place which is called Hwrdh.
