Thank God, how are you too?Great, great.Let's disembark.Hey, rowers, let down the gangway!Get close to this boat!Want me to help you?I was eager to work like a hungry wolf, and I wanted to work like four cows.Good people, what a place this is.Guys, do you still need my help?For God's sake, don't spare my sweat!Adam, that is, all human beings, was born to work and labor, just as birds are born to fly.Do you understand what the Savior means?We have to sweat to get our bread, not frightened to death like Friar John's cowards who only drink.Nice weather today.Now I realize that the words of the distinguished philosopher Anacarsis are really reasonable and well-founded. Once someone asked him what kind of ship he thought was the most reliable. boat ③. '"

Pigeons, domestic pigeons, greased, as if (really like) to be roasted, but in fact bamboo chickens stewed with cabbage, wild pigeons with leeks and domestic pigeons with radishes.I tell you, my good friends, I declare before the honorable gentlemen that the church between Kant and Montsoreau, promised to St. Nicholas, I will turn it into a place for making toilet water, cow and bull Will never go there again to graze because I'm going to throw it in the water.
