Author Description

Charlie lived alone in the desert with his burro Emma. He had always wanted to find the "Lost Dutchman Gold Mine." He started out with Emma one day and met up with Chico, a talking Mexican burro, that almost made him lose his mind. Chico was said to be a jinx as trouble followed him wherever he went. Horseflies, bees and lions found him, causing accidents. He was a Mexican burro that needed to take siestas every day. He wore glasses, a sombrero and burlap shoes. A flock of ravens fought for his hat. He fell down into a mine to put Charlie in shock. Those who made fun of him and tried to hurt him, he got even with them. He also was like a watchdog. This is a humorous and exciting story for any age.
