of bells and always some tambourrnes that were heard soundlng over there towards the brrdge Because at home when the populace rs happy they must dance and as rn those trmes the crty streets were too narrow for the farandole the frfe and tambourrne players settled themselves on the brrdge of Avrgnon rn the fresh wrnd of the Rhone Both day and nrght they used to dance there There was especrally one good old pope called Boneface Oh' how the tears ran for hrm when he dred rn Avrgnon He was a. prince so lovable so gentle' Every Sunday after vespers thrs worthy man used to go to hrs vrneyard and would srt up there rn the good sunshrne hrs mule near hrm hrs cardrnals all around Next to hrs vrneyard the thrng that the pope loved the best rn the world was hrs mule She was a beautrful black mule sure footed a glrstenrng coat of harr carryrn her lrttle lean head proudly all decorated wrth rrbbons and wrth the gentleness of an angel srmple eyes and two long ears always movrng whrch gave her a good natured look All of Avrgnon respected her Everyone knew rt was the best way of berng rn favor wrth the pope and wrth her rnnocent appearance the popes mule had led more than one to fortune as a proof Trstet Vedene nd hrs wonderful adventure Thrs Trstet Vedene was such a mrschrevous boy that hrs father Guy Vedene a sculptor of gold had been forced to expel hrm from hrs home because h drd not wrsh to do anythrng and he had a bad rnfluence on hrs apprentrces The rrrschrevous one had frxed hrs rntentrons on the popes mule for a long trme and you are gorng to see that rt was something shrewd One day Hrs Holiness was rrdrng all alone beneath the ramparts on hrs beast There Trstet accosted hrm nd sard to hrm whrle Jomrng hrs hands rn an arr of admrratron Ah' Goodness Holy Father what a good mule you have there Let me look at her a lrttle Ah' My pope a beautrful mule The emperor of Germany has not one lrke rt And the good pope excrt d sard What a good lrttle boy' How gentle he r wrth my mule' And then do you know what happened the next day Trstet Vedene entered the srngmg school of the pope where ever before only the sons of the noble not stop there Once rn the servrce of the pope the mrschref maker contrnued the game that had succeeded so well for hrm Insolent wrth everyone he had only trme for the mule Frnally the good pope who felt that he was becomrng old reached the pornt of grvrng hrm the care of guardrng the stable and of carryrng a bowl of Frencn wme to the mule 1Nor drd thrs make the mule laugh erther Now at the trme for her wrne the mule saw frve or srx lrttle boys from the srngrng school arrrve who slrpped mto the straw wrth therr srlken clothes and rn a moment a nrce odor of warm caramel frlled the stable and Tlstet Vedene appeared carryrng wrth cautron the bowr of wme a la francarse Then the martyrdom of the poor beast began The perfumed wme that she loved so well which kept her warm they had the cruelty to brrng to her there rn her manger to make her smell of rt a d when her nose was frlled wrth the delrcrous odor the wme drsappeared' The beautrful lrquor of rose flame color all went mto the throats of those gam ns But rf only they had stopped wrth stealrng the wrne' One pulled her ears another her tarl Qurquet clrmbed on her back Beruquet trred hrs barette on her head but not one of those devrls thought that the beast could wrth one ,ood klck send them all to the polar star Bu no she dnl not get angry at the chrldren rn sprte of all that they had done rt was only lrstet Vedene that she held a grudge agarnst For example rt was only wher he percerved that one standing behrnd her that her shoe rtched and truly she had a good reason Thrs rascal of a Trstet played such wrcked trrcks on her Then one day didnt he have the rdea of makrng her clrmb up the belfry or the srngrng school wrth hrm way up above on the trp of the palace? You may rmagrne the terror of that unfortunate mule when after havrng twrsted for an hour blrndfolded rn a wrndrng starrway and after clrmbrng I do not know how nang steps she found herself suddenly on a platform dazzlrng wrth lrght and a thousand feet below her all of a fantastrc Avrgnon the houses not larger than boxes Ah' Poor anrmal' Such panrc' All the wrndow panes of the palace trembled from the cry that she uttered . . 1 . 1 I v D ' .
