Pagoda's Childhood I have seen in the works of ancient biographers and poets that many people were born very strangely, and their stories are too long; if you have time, please read the seventh book of the works of Plinius. But you have never heard of anything so extraordinary as that of Panagure, for in such a short period of time he has grown so fast in stature and strength that it is truly unbelievable.Hercules had once strangled two snakes in his cradle, but they were nothing compared to the giant, for the snakes in question were small and slender.But while in the cradle Pagoda did even more astonishing things.

Let me not talk about how he drank the milk of 4,600 cows for each meal and how to build him a pot for cooking. The potter of the ③ and the potter of Bramont ④ in the province of Lorraine; the rice was cooked in this pot and placed in a large trough, which is still preserved today next to the courthouse in the city of Bourges ⑥; At that time, his teeth had already grown a lot and were very strong. He bit off a large piece of the groove, and it seemed to be very good. One morning, as he was being prepared to be milked by a cow (history never tells us that he was nursed any other way), he tore the cord that bound his arm from the cradle, and let it bend from the cow's leg. The next man caught the cow and ate its two milks, half of its belly, plus its liver and kidneys. If it hadn't been for the cow howling desperately like being dragged by a wolf, he would have swallowed it whole. .Hearing the sound of the cow, they all ran over and pulled the cow out of his hand; but no matter how hard they pulled, they could not get out the leg of the cow that he still held, and he ate it like a sausage. He was very proud; others wanted to take away the bones for him, but he swallowed them all at once, like a cormorant would do to a small fish; after eating, he kept saying: "Good! Good! Good! "Because he still couldn't say enough, what he meant was to let people know that he ate very well, so he will do that from now on.Seeing him like this, his attendants hastened to tie him up with thick ropes, like the ropes used to tie up the salt bags at Dan Township to Lyon, or like the Grand Françoise at the Port of Huen in Normandy. ③The cable on the ship.

Another time, a big bear kept by his father came out to lick Paguguet's face (because the nurses didn't wipe his lips clean), and Paguguay broke free from the above-mentioned rope that bound him, and he was with Samson in Africa. It was equally easy for the Lishi people to break the rope, and then they grabbed that "Mr. Xiong", tore it up like a chicken, and ate it while it was hot. After this incident, Gao Kang was very afraid that he would cause other troubles, so he had people cast four thick iron chains to tie him up, and then used a shelf beside the cradle to stabilize the cradle.One of the four chains is now at La Lochelle, the chain that is stretched at night between the two towers on either side of the port; one is at Lyons; the other is at Angers; the fourth is taken by the devil Went to bind Lucifer, because that day Lucifer ate the soul of a sergeant as fried meat for breakfast, and his stomach hurt badly. The volume contains Strange Production.

② Saumur: in the southeast of Angers in today's Royal Province. ③ Villedi: In the northwest of France, it is famous for producing pots. ④ Bramont: Now Flamont in the province of Alsace, which is famous for its developed iron industry. ⑤ Bourges: the name of the provincial city of Bailey. ⑥ Next to the court in Bourges, there is a large stone trough, known as the "Giant Basin", which holds wine once a year and distributes it to the poor. ① Dan Town: A port along the Rhone River where salt is stored, from where the salt is shipped to Vienna and Lyon. ②Hui En Port: Bo Havre.

③ The Grand Françoise, a 2,000-ton transport ship, was the largest ship in France at the time. It was launched in Port Huen in 1533, but it was broken by wind and waves before it even went out to sea. ④ La Loscher: The name of the southwestern city of Paris. ① Lucifer: The leader of the angels who rebelled against God. Damn, broke his chains.So you may believe what Nicola de Lira says about the Psalms: Og of "Et Og regem Basan" was so strong at an early age that he had to be chained in his cradle ④.In this way, Paiguguet was really quiet and honest, because it is not easy to break all the above-mentioned chains, and besides, there is no place to swing your arms in the cradle.

However, one day, his father Gao Kang held a banquet and invited all the princes in the palace to the banquet.I think all the deacons in the palace were busy with the banquet, and no one cared enough for poor Pogoguel to put him aside as a reculorum.What should he do? What will he do, good people, let me tell you. He tried to break the chains of the cradle with his arms, but he could not, because the chains were too thick. So he kicked wildly with both feet, and kicked away one end of the cradle, which was still blocked by a thick beam with seven "branches" ⑥ square.In this way, his feet stretched out of the cradle, and he moved down hard so that the feet slowly touched the ground.At this time, he stood up with great strength, carrying the cradle tied to his spine on his back, like a tortoise crawling on the wall, and looked like a five-hundred-ton tortoise erected big ship.In this way he entered the hall where they were drinking, and astonished them all with the imprudence; fortunately his arms were still tied in the cradle, so that he could eat nothing, and had to bend with all his might. Bend down and eat a few mouthfuls with your tongue.When his father saw him, he understood that people had forgotten him and didn't give him food, so he obeyed the wishes of the princes present and asked someone to untie his rope. Tied in the cradle all the time, it is easy to get stone gonorrhea in the future.

Everyone untied the rope for him, let him sit down, and let him eat to his heart's content.After eating, Paiguguay angrily punched the cradle, smashing the cradle into more than half a million pieces with one fist, and he refused to go back into the cradle no matter what. ② Nicola de Lira: Italian Franciscan monk in the 14th century, famous for his commentary on the Bible. ③ Latin: "?. And Bashan King Og." See "Old Testament? Psalms" 135th Section 11. ④ This is not the story in the "Old Testament? Psalms". Chapter 3 of "Old Testament? Deuteronomy" also mentions Og. It is said that Og is thirty cubits high, equal to about half a meter per hour.

⑤ Latin: "in the cold, no one cares about". ⑥ Each "fork" is about 22 to 24 centimeters, and seven "forks" are about one and a half meters. ① It is said that stone gonorrhea is caused by heat in the waist.
