Alas, but were in a fix, brayed Indifferaunce. How will we ever get to Avihsey like this? Now, friend Indifferaunce, said Piouse. Have patience. For my part, said Zealos, I am somewhat flattered . Indeed, methinks that my natural talents somewhat lean toward those of a lion. Don ' t speak foolishly, said Indifferaunce. Choparkalex in- tended to make us content to live as animals. We must seek help to break this evil spell . The shame of it that I must be made a donkey!

Upon completing the meal, the knights, at first, felt well sated. But soon the food began to take a grisly gastronomical toll. Possessed by a pressing urgency, Indifferaunce rose to make a hasty departure, but alas, sank to the ground coughing uncontrollably.

There, on particolored thrones, sat the queens, Surette, Rivque, and Laeoh. They looked up as the knights entered. Gastronomio ' s work, said Surette. The other two nodded. Nay, good lady, growled Zealos, for the rascal ' s name was Choparkalex. He has many names, said Surette, but they all mean heartburn . You know, you ' re cute Zealos, even if you are a lion. Where are you from? Is this your first year at Avihsey? What are you studying?
