Unexpectedly even to Stanley, the hero of this story turns out to be not the knight, but his steed. Summoned to the rescue, Romuald rushes to save, what seems to him a beautiful princess trapped inside a … well, not a tower, but a tower block.

This warm and funny tale proves that even the most common circumstances may awaken truly heroic powers in the most underestimated of us.
