I imagine Nicholas Nye's life was like before he was put in the field as:
Nicholas Nye was a working donkey. He was strong and sturdy, and he could carry heavy loads for long distances. He worked on a farm, helping to plow the fields, pull the cart, and carry the hay. He was a valuable member of the team, and he was well-loved by his owners.
One day, Nicholas Nye was injured. He fell and broke his leg. His owners knew that he would never be able to work again, so they put him in the field. Nicholas Nye was sad to leave his home and his friends, but he knew that he would be safe in the field.
In the field, Nicholas Nye had plenty of time to rest and relax. He could eat the grass and the leaves from the trees, and he could drink from the stream. He made friends with the other animals in the field, and he even learned to fly a kite.
Nicholas Nye lived a long and happy life in the field. He was loved by all who knew him, and he will never be forgotten.
