Dolly asked her pet donkey, Yankee Doodle, to stay at home while she went to the market. Yankee Doodle was very naughty and after Dolly left, he went out for a little stroll.
He crossed a fruit shop and took a mouthful of apples. The shopkeeper picked up a stick and shooed him away. After a while, Yankee Doodle passed by a park and started chewing the grass.
The policeman who was standing nearby saw him and chased after him. Just then, a band started playing
Yankee Doodle's favorite song. Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Yankee Doodle followed the band and merrily danced away.
As the band passed through the market, Dolly saw her donkey
and decided to teach him a lesson. She requested the band to go past her
house so that Yankee Doodle would keep following it and she could take him home.
Yankee Doodle happily danced as he followed the band. As soon as they neared their house,
Dolly caught her donkey and locked him in his stable. Sad that he would have to stay in the stable Yankee Doodle promised never to disobey her again.
