'The Silver Donkey' follows two girls, Marcelle, 10, and Coco, 8. They find a blind English soldier while they are outside playing. The soldier gives the girls his good luck charm, a silver donkey. They treat the soldier with food, water, but he asks for one more favor. The girls and the soldier go out and rescue the soldier's little brother, John, who's poor and doesn't have much. As they set out on this mission, they bring the silver donkey with them, and along comes a story they live to tell.
