I am the Tanner. After a Roman soldier gives a boy directions to a man who needs an animal like his donkey, Small One, whom he intends to sell to, they enter a shop belonging to me. I am seen sharpening my knife until I hear the boy calling for me and approaches them when I see Small One. I examine Small One but when the boy asks if I will take good care of him, I reveal my true intentions and status, stating I simply want the donkey's hide to make leather out of him; much to the boy's horror. Despite me doing the best to offer the boy a piece of silver for his donkey, the boy refuses and both he and Small One run away scared from my shop.
