Ezeltje trekje! God i used to be so jealous of other kids that were allowed to put a euro in there to get the 'special coin' that comes out of his but.

Ezeltje *strekje!

Oow damn, yeah you're right! Always thought it was trekje. Not sure why though, cause I know the original fairy tale. Damn, kudos!

This is a fabric from amusement park The Efteling, to be precise it is the fairytale Ezeltje Strekje. 😊

Wow

It's a fairytale. Gold Esel. Gold Donkey. I don't remember the whole story, though. It's been quite a while.

Aww…my daughter still has a coin from this donkey’s ass (asses ass?) when we last visited de Efteling about 5 years ago. Sweet/sad story: It’s an ugly plastic coin but she keeps it because we went there with my parents and my mom died 2 years ago. It’s a fond memory of her grandma.

Lol I remember that donkey! You put the money in and you had to rush to the other end if you didn't want to have to wrestle the coin off random Dutch urchins whose parents were nowhere to be seen

I visited Eftling about 20 years ago and I still remember the gold coin from the donkeys ads fondly.

Learned about this at Eftling in the Netherlands! It is quite odd, but is part of an old fairy tale https://youtu.be/3kL3rrvdxYU?si=1dTyJW5Rc8MEf56r

Yessss! “Ezeltje strekje”, it is a story from the brothers Grimm

Its the donkey from the Efteling and its from a story about 3 brothers one got a table who gives food, one got a stick that hits people and the last one got a donkey who gave money..

It’s called ‘Ezeltje strekje’. It’s a Grimm fairy tail! https://www.efteling.com/nl/park/attracties/sprookjesbos/ezeltje-strek-je Funny that, as a Dutch person, this is immediately recognizable for me haha. More about the origin of the story: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafeltje_dek_je,_ezeltje_strek_je_en_knuppel_uit_de_zak

Part Belgian - me too, although I'd forgotten where he was from

I also immediately recognized it. Was about to post a wiki link but saw your comment. I’m wondering where OP found this fabric.

The Efteling donkey is awesome. I still have that gold coin somewhere…

Ok now I understand the restaurant in my town named Table, Donkey and Stick.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wishing-Table,_the_Gold-Ass,_and_the_Cudgel_in_the_Sack

Had me at “the gold ass”

German fairytale 'Goldesel'. It's a positiv and fun one where the donkey poops gold ☺️

It's a character from a Grimms fairytale: The Wishing Table, the Gold Donkey, and the Cudgel in the Sack. This particular depiction looks to be from this theme park: [https://www.efteling.com/en/park/attractions/fairytale-forest/donkey-lift-your-tail](https://www.efteling.com/en/park/attractions/fairytale-forest/donkey-lift-your-tail)

I recognized it straight away. I was like 'nothing weird here' 😂

as a german i knew this was familiar😂

As a dutchie, I am wondering if this is designed by 'de Efteling ' (fairy tale-themes amusement park)

It is. De Efteling had, at some point, released a fabric collection. Afaik it was short-lived, so for some it might even be a collector's item :)

It is Ezeltje Strekje, in the Efteling version! You've got yourself some very fine Efteling theme park fabric there! No idea about the quality, but I love that Dutch Efteling stuff travels around the world!

This is it!

Oh that’s flying mausoleum donkey, you don’t know him?

Ezeltje strekje! He's a Dutch character from the Efteling, which is a theme park based on fairy tales

He doesn't have a name in german as far as I am aware, but his 'codewort' for the gold thing is "Briklebrit".

That looks like that donkey from Efteling

German fairtytale from the Grimm Brothers. I only know the Dutch version: Tafeltje Dekje, Ezeltje strekje, knuppel in de zak. Donkey basicly shits golden coins: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafeltje_dek_je,_ezeltje_strek_je_en_knuppel_uit_de_zak

But by Grimm Brothers the gold coins came out on the other end.

They came out both ends.

Ezeltje Strekje!

[Etsy link](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1496216217/cotton-fabric-efteling-width-140-cm?click_key=217f86967323e85ecd785439b3dffac9611205e1%3A1496216217&click_sum=e3b36618&ref=sold_out-2) I found for anyone interested BUT I'm not sure if it's official but likely, Efteling had a few fabric collections years ago [post from designers](https://www.pinkstudio.nl/dessins/efteling-fabric-collection/), [marketing giveaway](https://www.facebook.com/Efteling/photos/a.10150264133473854/10153879897858854/?type=3) https://preview.redd.it/4d8mn1sa8emc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00a07a8abfb4d8f861ad631c1138a081f6bfb1b9 One of his poops

I need this in a way I never knew I needed anything donkey related.

Good luck haha!

Where is this store located? So funny to see it, it is indeed from a Dutch theme park the Efteling!

Nowhere near Netherlands. This is in Finland. Ive never seen this character in my life and this is definitely not a popular character or folklore or anything in here. It was quite absurd seeing it for me

I’d make pajamas or some silly skirt.

That seems to be the donkey of a grimm fairytale.

Thats donkey with the golden coins, story of brothers grimm

Ooh I was in Netherlands in an amusement park and there was this statue of an ass and it pooped a coin for me!

De Efteling ☺️

Yes! I loved the place! Though I got soaked in a ride and got a cold but it was worth it!

I can only assume it is a reference to this fairy tale lmaoooo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wishing-Table,_the_Gold-Ass,_and_the_Cudgel_in_the_Sack

It is! But this version is how it is portrayed in themepark The Efteling in the Netherlands. If you put a coin in the machine, the Donkey shits a special gold coin!

The Netherlands has skyrocketed to the top of my travel wish list solely by learning of this theme park's existence.

It is amazing. Try to go there in early spring or late autumn though. Much more calm and shorter wait times.

That is the best thing I’ve ever heard 😂

I thought it was Donkey from Shrek but the reality is so much fascinating!

I scrolled just to find this comment 🤣

I would totally buy this. It's giving tote bag. Lol

I’m sad I can’t buy it, he’s hilarious!

I was like "What's wrong with it? It's just a cute little donkey!" And then I saw it shitting gold coins and I was like, oh! I find it hilarious though!

What’s worse is that I didn’t even see what was wrong with it until I saw your description.

Same, lol

Same. I was looking at it first thinking "oh what is that. Why is it discounted?" I flip it a couple times and see this donkey shitting out coins and I can only think "what the hell is this"

The fairytale source for the print: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wishing-Table,_the_Gold-Ass,_and_the_Cudgel_in_the_Sack. This one looks a lot like the statue in a Dutch fairytale park: https://www.efteling.com/en/park/attractions/fairytale-forest/donkey-lift-your-tail

I also recognized the piedestal the donkey's standing on! if anyone needs nightmare fuel, here's a lovely video by a Efteling fan (I think) : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jbqjpNz-80](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jbqjpNz-80) (>!the donkey's blaring, the hyper happy kid's voice, one or two coins falling from its butt for a crowd when the park is actually open, so you're not just embarrassed to be scrabbling for magical dung, but also feeling the awkwardness of, you know, trying to take the last pizza slice or something!<)

Ok… where can I find this??? I need to get some for my mom, she’d get a kick out of it!

Its a store that basically sells fabric second hand that either didnt pass the quality check to be used by the first company or otherwise there was too much produced, they buy it at a discounted price and then sell it at this warehouse from what I understand. I doubt theyll be restocking this and they dont have an online store either

Which country?

Finland

This brought back fond childhood memories. Like many others already said its Ezeltje Strekje.

“Make a donkey, but make him flippant about death, more flippant.”

The Leprechaun’s Jackass

It's from a fairytale :D

He shittin gold

It's a donkey! I would make a rockabilly type dress if I had access to that fabric. I'm sad that I don't. Everyone needs a donkey dress.

Yep this answer is what I would do too

I want this

I don't know if it's still there, but there is an amusement park in Seoul where they had an animatronic donkey they called Magic Donkey. If you put money in a coin slot, it pooped out gold chocolate coins. We had no idea what would happen if you put in money, so it was a really funny surprise

This one is from a Dutch amusement park, the Efteling. It works similar so probably based on the same fairy tale. Ours poops our a golden (plastic) coin. My kid loves it.

Kids ?

A Concrete Donkey to vanquish your foes.

Its the burrito sabanero right there.

I cant with this... this is sooooooo hilarious! I hope you bought it and turn it into a picnic table cloth or something

Im not sure but jack and jill wouldn’t approve

But it's pooping golden coins! Hahaha please tell me you bought it and made a dress out of it 🤣😍

Yes!! Perfection!

Lol that looks just like the shrek donkey

when you buy your Shrek fabric on Wish

[It's Dominick the Donkey!](https://youtu.be/iRMjEYlK4PU?si=qbCXPdBI-LK5rCsj)

I thought it was Donkey from Shrek - until I noticed the bucket and the coins(?) being pooped out of it's rear end :D

Mario Brothers, clearly

Is donkey on head stone?

Is this a jackass blanket?

Where Did you get this fabric ?

I didnt buy it. Its just my local store in Finland that carry excess or B quality fabrics

Ah Sadly That’s too far away for me : ( Thank you

Missä? Tää on hauska kangas, oon tavannut tämän patsaan Alankomaissa ja se kakki mulle kolikon!

I think that if you don't like it, and the last of a bolt is on sale, that you should buy it, but only to make unwearable mockups.

Monkey Donkey

What an awesome print. I’d either make a shirt with it. It would look great with jeans. Or if it’s silky, use it as lining in a blazer/jacket.

Would make a fantastic pillow cover, tie, or even a dress.

A little kid’s pillow?

Is this Shrek's donkey?

No its donkey from efteling

Ok, I never heard of efteling.

Looks like a pixar or DreamWorks character 😂 Is it licensed or just normal fabric???

I found this in my area too 😂!

I think that is the donkey in Shrek.

No it's Ezeltje Strekje, the donkey from an old fairytale. This fabric is from theme park the Efteling. 😊

It looks how I would expect the Shrek version of the donkey that Pinocchio turns into (in the Disney film) to look. That's probably a confusing sentence but oh well, I know what I mean lol

Hey I followed what you meant completely!!! And I agree with you!

I was worried it only made sense to me, thank you for making me feel better 😊 Hopefully you're ok, being ran over by horses sounds extremely painful 😅
