Last night the gal of my dreams and I partook of a local Indian buffet (mmm…tandoori chicken). We were seated next to a full-color print of a forest scene featuring cherubic young children and donkeys (or some other equine critter). In a small clearing, a few kids in stereotypically elaborate garb are clustered near one edge of the space, while two others seem to be abusing donkeys: one has a donkey laid out on the ground, while the other seems to be swinging a donkey about by its (rear) ankle. In the background you can seen a herd of (presumably upset) donkeys headed toward the rowdy lads.
We discussed it, and came to the (wholly uninformed) conclusion that it must be a depiction of some Indian folktale. Was it? If so, what’s the story? If not, WTF?
