Adam, a young boy visiting his grandfather in the scenic mountains of Colorado, discovers and amazing fact. Living in the wild just outside his grandfather s doorstep are donkeys whose ancestors had worked to pack ore out of nearby mines and who played a crucial part in turning the surrounding area into "the gold capital of the world." More amazing yet, Adam learns that one of the donkeys also suffers from a physical handicap similar to his own.
