0Hi...02br
02br
00In my opinion, the first sentence is some kind of a part of a story line. Perhaps the owner was mad at the donkey, hence he advanced TOWARDS the donkey, (bringing a) stick in hand (to strike the donkey). What do you think?02br

00As for the second sentence, there are a lot of possibilities. Perhaps you could give a longer sentence wit
