WISE DONKEY

The 'Wise Donkey' is a character from two L. Frank Baum novels: ''A New Wonderland'' (''The Magical Monarch of Mo'') (1899/1903) and ''The Patchwork Girl of Oz'' (1913).
He began life as an ordinary donkey in Phunniland (Mo), but after consuming numerous books, he learned their contents and became a wise advisor to the King. He sometimes acts in his own interests, at least to the extent of making sure his are met when he aids others, such as suggesting an apple for rescuing Nuphsed, which doesn't work, but when he is fed the apple, he gives an answer that does.
Somehow he was able to cross the Deadly Desert that surrounds Oz, and he took up residence with the Foolish Owl.
