I tried to punish one of my mules once by locking him in a stall in the
barn--(he kept jumping the fence and grazing in my garden!) Locked the stall
door, locked the barn door and went back into the house...ten minutes later
I looked out the window and there he was munching my garden!!! Upon
investigation---he had managed to jump through the window (about 18"x18")
taking half the barn wall with him...the window and wall lay splintered in a
pile---the mule didn't have a scratch!!  We had another mule--who jumped
every fence ever made...I put a pair of leather hobbles on him and tied h is
head to the hobbles...plenty of rope to do anything but throw his head up in
order to launch himself...that night we had an early wet snow storm...the
next morning I found my mule...hobbless---dragging an enormous snow ball
beside him on the end of his rope!!It was as tall as he was!!!the wet snow
had caused the hobbles to stretch ---when them came off and were dragging
over the ground...a snow ball was born....and grew into a monster! Sure kept
him from jumping fences for awhile :>] Which has absolutely nothing to do
with "Arabic name help"...Unless it would help to know the one mule's name
was Packareemus and the other one was Flavonius...could be of Arabic
derivation...?
