an announcement the one that all male inhabitants in the counsel in
the temple request greased of, to think up middles of the defense.
The high first speaker thought that the best order of the action
would be, to offer a roast of asno to the God. The second proposed a
public procession, that was directed for the Wampog, the direction
of the holy hook of the fire in a material pillow of the copper.
Another it thought, should be buried remains that a living of
écarlate in the public and an adjuration adapted besides it. The
counsel of the room was that the columns of the capitole with the
oil of dog are rubbed for a person, that has a mustache in the
smooth one of their
leg. If all, that it had says spoken another with a man risen old
and:
"Extremely and powerfully Wampog and citizen of friend, I had
listened attentively to all projects proposed. Wise every
appearance, and I myself do not suffer, that any that to doubt, that
would be cash one of that. Nevertheless I cannot help to think that
if we would place a, a has of in ours, the offerings built liberated
and the leaves would not be useless very deeply, pulcra, that in
ours an among that and that, improved ours private of, the ander
public." to one.
The old man was the encounter to sweep are more enfermero is
approaches to speak to likewise, but the changed simply that around
the soil of the temple - for the men of Gakwak the women to the
homes that in total this province. The hard high one to speaker was
the broom. |
The Broom of the Temple
THE city of Gakwak being about to lose its character of capital of
the province of Ukwuk, the Wampog issued a proclamation convening
all the male residents in council in the Temple of Ul to devise
means of defence. The first speaker thought the best policy would be
to offer a fried jackass to the gods. The second suggested a public
procession, headed by the Wampog himself, bearing the Holy
Poker on a cushion of cloth-of-brass. Another thought that a scarlet
mole should be buried alive in the public park and a suitable
incantation chanted over the remains. The advice of the fourth was
that the columns of the capitol be rubbed with oil of
dog by a person having a moustache on the calf of his leg. When all
the others had spoken an Aged Man rose and said:
"High and mighty Wampog and fellow-citizens, I have listened
attentively to all the plans proposed. All seem wise, and I do not
suffer myself to doubt that any one of them would be efficacious.
Nevertheless, I cannot help thinking that if we would put an
improved breed of polliwogs in our drinking water, construct
shallower roadways, groom the street cows, offer the stranger within
our gates a free choice between the poniard and the potion,
and relinquish our private system of morals, the other measures of
public safety would be needless."
The Aged Man was about to speak further, but the meeting informally
adjourned in order to sweep the floor of the temple - for the men of
Gakwak are the tidiest housewives in all that province. The
last speaker was the broom.
