Stephanos says no

Who ever saw the donkey Stephanus with a saddle on his back? You certainly didn't see it!
For Stephanos, from an early age, refuses to carry it. It was his dad who told him "the saddle hurts, my little boy"
So the stubborn donkey decided he could carry everything but the farmer's saddle. When the latter approaches to put his log on his back, Estefano runs away.
One day, little Remi arrived with a very soft and very thick blanket. He put it on Stephanos's back and said in his ear:

– Very soft and very delicate. Stephanos, my friend, I'm going to climb on his back and we'll go for a walk.
Remi mounted and went to the village. Stephanos is very happy with a very warm blanket and with Remi who weighs a feather. But not a saddle!
