A donkey’s big ears are very helpful because they let it hear sounds that are very far away. You can also say:
- The donkey uses its large ears to listen to sounds that come from far away.
- Big ears help the donkey catch tiny noises from far, far away.
- The donkey can hear far-away sounds because its ears are big.
- With its big ears, the donkey can listen to sounds that are very quiet and far.
All these mean the same thing: the donkey’s big ears help it hear things that are not close by.
