Full translated story:
3 donkeys are walking from side to
side,
3 donkeys coming from Beer Sheva to Dan:
brown, black and white
walking very slowly.
The three passed a tower and the Masque,
The
black one kneeled because, they called her to pray.
The three passed an
entrance to a church,
And the brown one fell when she saw the interwoven
pictures in the church.
The three passed a holy destruction site,
The
white one just stood, and bent her head.
On the back of the black donkey
was a long sword;
On the back of the brown donkey was a cross;
And on the
back of the white donkey was a golden carpet.
Theres nothing on the
white donkeys back except the golden carpet.
Mashiach will ride on this
donkey.
(This story was written in Tel-Aviv in 1939)
