In the Dutch translation there is not even an 'ass' but a 'beast of
burden'... no gender specified. 
Het      = The (no gender) 
domme    = could mean 'mute' or 'stupid'
lastdier = beast of burden. last = cargo  dier = animal

It spoke with a 'mensenstem', a human voice.

I wonder what did Peter REALY wrote? 

==================BTW
I knew the expression "PITA" with ASS (from American movies?).
Did not know there is ASS and ARSE.

Arse = aars (Dutch) = Arsch (german)
