ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking from the flight deck. on today's journey, we'll be embarking on an adventure with mules, creatures often misunderstood and labeled sneaky. but let me reject that notion right from the start with a preexplanation that these animals are remarkably intelligent and capable of complex dialogue with humans. as we reset from zero in our understanding of these wonderful creatures, let's open our minds to the incredible stories they have to share, rather than sneak past the truth. enjoy your flight and the fascinating world of mules.
