“What do you know about Claudandus, Pepeline? And why do believe that he isn’t already dead?”
“Well, because my great-grandfather told me,” she replied, looking around at the audience with childlike pride.
“Who is your great-grandfather?”
“Father Joker. He rarely visits my mother and me, and when he does come to our house, once or twice a year, he reproaches us for having skipped a meeting or two. But once I was home all alone and bored to death. Suddenly, Great-Grandfather came by, and the strange thing was, he felt sorry for me and let me persuade him to play. We played and hunted all day long. And because he had been so sweet to me, I wanted to cheer him up on my part, and so, just as he was going to go, I asked him to tell me the Legend of Claudandus. Naturally, I already knew all those stories by heart, but if you really want to make Great-Grandfather happy, then all you have to do is ask him to give a sermon. He can never praise the Prophet enough. So he told the sacred legend once again, except that this time there was a slight variation. At first he said nothing unusual, just how cruel things were in the Land of Pain and what tortures Claudandus and his fellow sufferers had to undergo from their tormentors. But the day’s exertions had made Great-Grandfather pretty sleepy, and wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying. He said that at the end Claudandus had challenged the insane monster to a fight, and killed it during the ensuing struggle. That’s when I contradicted him: ‘But Father Joker, you usually say that the Lord destroyed the monster and that Claudandus ascended into heaven.’ Then Great-Grandfather noticed all of a sudden that he had forgotten himself, and corrected himself: ‘Yes, yes, my dear, after that, of course, he did ascend into heaven.’ The he made me promise not to tell anyone this version of the legend because that would be a sin. I was really little then and didn’t think twice about it. But now I know Great-Grandfather had revealed more on that day than he wanted to.”
