Everyone sees this, but not everyone will understand where the donkey is in the picture.\n</p><p>The phrase &ldquo;stubborn as a mule&rdquo; is an idiom used to describe a person who is unreasonably stubborn or difficult to persuade. The phrase &ldquo;stubborn as a mule&rdquo; comes from the fact that donkeys are known to be very independent and strong-willed animals. &ldquo;Stubborn mules&rdquo; have a reputation for resisting submission or control. They often refuse to do something, especially if they don&rsquo;t want to do it.\n</p><p>Donkeys were historically used as pack animals, and their stubbornness was both a strength and a weakness. Their independence made them well-suited to working in difficult terrain, but it could also make the animals difficult to control. The phrase &ldquo;stubborn as a mule&rdquo; originated as a way to describe someone who was uncooperative or difficult to work with, like a stubborn donkey.\n</p><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-111515 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/justmetalking.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/564.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"768\"' height='\"922\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/564.png' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><br>\n.<br>\n.<br>\n.<br>\n.<br>\n.<br>\n.<br>\n.\n</p><p>Answer:\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-111516 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/justmetalking.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/564m.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"768\"' height='\"922\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/564m.png' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>&ldquo;They couldn&rsquo;t share the donkey.&rdquo; But where is the donkey in the picture?
