- Numskull Cannot Find the Donkey he Is Sitting On.

Numskull Cannot Find the Donkey he Is Sitting On. A numskull counting his donkeys (horses, camels) forgets to count the one he is sitting on. When he dismounts he always has one donkey more than when he sits on one of the animals [J2022]. (He decides to walk rather than to lose one donkey.) Cf. Type 1287.
