Chapter 88 Chapter Twenty Seven

How Paganuai erected a stele to commemorate the military exploits; how Banuge built another monument to commemorate the rabbit; how Paganuai farted loudly and gave birth to little men, and farting silently gave birth to little women; how Banuday broke thick sticks on two cups Paguguai said: "Before we leave, in order to commemorate your military exploits, I want to erect a decent monument here." Everyone was very happy when they heard it, humming country tunes, and erected a tall wooden stake, on which hung a full set of saddles, horse face masks, horse body guards, stirrup belts, spurs, and a suit of armor. , a set of knight's armor, an axe, a short sword, leather gauntlets, a hammer, armor for the armpits, chaps for the legs, a collar for the neck, and everything necessary for a monument of victory.

Then, to immortalize it, Paiguguet wrote an inscription of victory, in the following words: Here four valiant warriors, outshined by two Scipios and equaled by Fabius, outshined six hundred and sixty valiant warriors, like Fabius, without armor, Burned alive like bark. Kings, princes, generals and soldiers should all learn from it. Rather than exerting force, it is better to fight wits; because victory can only be carried forward in the noble and glorious dynasties. It is not surprising to be strong or big. You should believe that you cannot violate the will of God. Only those who are prosperous, honored, and have firm confidence can achieve their goals.

When Paguguet wrote the above verses, Panurge put on a great stake a pair of antlers, the hide, and the two hoofs in front of the deer; afterward he added the ears of three little hares, and a house rabbit. the backbone of a large rabbit, the wings of two bustards, the paws of four wild pigeons, a bottle of vinegar, a salt horn, a wooden fork for spiking meat, a spoon for pouring oil, a A colander, a basin for soy sauce, an earthenware salt shaker, and an outside bowl①.He also imitated the commemoration of Paiguguay, and wrote the following lines: Squat here, four happy and happy drinkers, they toasted Bagus, all drunk.

Mr. Rabbit has his back and butt torn apart, you rob each other, grab salt, grab vinegar, and be as sharp as a scorpion, chasing and fighting, and twisting his waist in the end; Abby Simon. ② "Two Scipios" refer to "Scipion the African" and "Scipion Emilion", both of whom were generals of the Roman Empire before BC. ③ Fabius: Roman Empire administrator, good at strategy, Hannibal's strong enemy. ① Porcelain from Savigny near Baowai is famous. Because to prevent the hot weather, the best rule is to drink, drink refreshingly, and choose good wine to drink.

However, keep in mind that it is not good to eat rabbit without vinegar; vinegar is the soul and all the skills of seasoning, so you must remember it well. Grandeur said: "Well, boys, we're too picky about food here, because we've never seen a man who eats good fight. Nothing like the shadow of a banner, nothing like the smoke of a horse, nothing like armor sound." After hearing this, Abesdemon said with a smile: "There is nothing like the shadow of the kitchen, nothing like the smoke of meat buns and the sound of wine glasses." Banurge went on to say: "There is nothing like the shadow of a bed curtain, nothing like the smoke of nipples and the sound of balls."

Then he stood up, farted, jumped, whistled, and yelled joyfully: "Long live the Pagoda!" Paiguguet saw him like this, and wanted to do the same; but he let out a loud fart, and the whole land for nine leagues around him shook, and the stench was suffocating, and fifty-three thousand little men grew out of the ground, ugly and ugly. And short; then he let out another silent fart, and the same number of squatting little women grew out, as I had seen elsewhere, they were always not big, at most, they were no more than tails between cows As long as a carrot, or as round as a Limo III.

"What!" Banuri yelled, "Your fart has such great reproductive power? My God! There are men and there are women; let them marry, and when they get married they will breed you flies. " Paiguguay did as he had said, and made the little people the kingdom of the dwarves, and sent them to live on an island not far from there.Since then, their population has multiplied rapidly.But they were continually attacked by a species of giraffe, which they valiantly resisted,4 because these little people ("brush handles" as they are called in Scotland) are quite violent.Of course, this is also for the physiological relationship, because their hearts are too close to the feces.

At this time, Panuge took two cups of the same size from there, filled them with water, filled them as much as they could, put one cup of water on one stool, and the other cup on the other stool. Go up, remove the two stools, and leave a distance of five feet between them; then take a gun shaft five and a half feet long, and place it on top of the two cups, so that the two ends of the gun shaft just touch the sides of the cups.So placed, he took another thick stick, and said to Paguguet and the others: "Gentlemen, see how effortlessly we shall overcome our enemies; for--as I were to break the shaft of the gun that rests on the cup, the shaft would break, and the cup would not be damaged at all; Let not a drop of water come out--this is how we will slaughter the people of the thirsty country, and not one of us will be hurt, and none of our work will be delayed. But, so that you don't think there is any magic here, come here, ’ he said to Austen, ‘hit hard into this stick.’

① Limo III: the name of an ancient French province. ② What he means is: "Give birth to a villain as big as a gadfly." ③ On the map published in Europe in the 16th century, opposite Japan, north of China, and east of the country of thirsty people (Sitia), there is a dwarf country; see page 21 of Lefranc's "World Voyage".In the past, the country of the dwarves has always been said to be in the upper Nile or India. ④ The story of the dwarf country's resistance to the giraffe has already been told in Homer's time, see Chapter 6 of Volume Three. Austen struck down so neatly that the barrel of the gun split in two, and not a drop of water spilled from the glass.Banuji said:

"I've got plenty of other tricks; just take it easy, it's true."
