DONKEYS
"Once upon a time there was a donkey, truly the color of a donkey running away, strong hooves, thin ears, a good mouth, with a rough patch on its forehead that resembled a marigold and a starfish."
RIBEIRO, A. (1976) História de um burro com rabo de légua e meia. Second Edition. Arca de Noé. Bertrand (free translation)
