Chapter 184 Chapter Thirty-Five

How Pagano came to Wild Island, the ancient residence of the Sausage Man Some oarsmen on the bow of the Lantern pulled the captured whale to a nearby island called Wilderness Island, where they planned to dissect the whale and take out the fat in the kidney, which is said to be a healing medicine. Medicines necessary for diseases called "out of money".Paiguguet didn't care much, because he had seen many such fish in French seas, and even bigger ones.Yet he agreed to go to Wild Isle, and let his men, wet and soiled by the whale, come ashore to dry and rest and eat.About noon they landed in a little deserted port, near a pretty wood, from which flowed a clear, clear, silvery stream.There they pitched their tents, set up their stoves, and kindled a great fire.After everyone had changed their clothes, Brother John rang the bell.As soon as the bell rang, the table for eating was immediately set up and ready to go.

Paiguguet was eating happily with his entourage, and when he was serving the second course, he suddenly saw a few little sausage men silently climbing up a tall tree near the wine place in the kitchen.He asked Xenomaen, "What is this?" He thought it was some kind of animal, such as squirrel, mole, marten, or weasel. Xenomarn replied: "The Sausage People. This is the Wilderness Isle I told you about this morning. They and their long-time enemy, the Lord of Fasting, are often in life-and-death battles. I think they heard us talking to the whales just now. The sound of firing was frightening. They suspected that the enemy led troops to attack them and ravage their island. There have been many times in the past, when the enemy landed on the island and encountered the heroic defense of the sausage man, they retreated without success. The sausage man ( As Dido's companions at Aenes told them when they landed at Carthage without her knowledge and consent,1) the wiles of the enemy, and so near, forced them to be constantly on the lookout and watchful."

"Yes, my friend," said Paiguguet, "if you see any good way to bring this war to an end, and to reconcile the two parties, do not forget to tell me. be mitigated and resolved." "It's not possible at the moment," said Xenomaen. "Four years ago, when I passed by here and Haunted Island, I mediated for them, or at least wanted to get a long-term truce. If this side, or that side, was willing to give up one of their demands, they would have made a good deal by now. Friends and good neighbors. The fasting master refused to let the people of large intestines and their former good friends and small intestines of the allied mountains be included in the treaty. The sausage people wanted the castle of the mackerel barrel to be under their jurisdiction, just like the castle of bacon barrel, Let them control and rule, and drive out all the bad guys, strongmen, thieves, and murderers who live in it and don't know where they came from. Both sides disagree with these demands, and they both think it is unfair and reasonable.

"Consequently, the contract could not be signed. However, the hostilities between the two sides are much more relaxed and less acute than in the past. But since the Kasai State Conference was announced, the sausage people have been reprimanded, accused and summoned - fasting If the leader is their ally or has any connection with them, he will also be included in the rank of filth, feather loss, and dried codfish-so their attitudes suddenly deteriorated, vicious, hateful, and stubborn, and they could no longer Improved. It is easier to reconcile the cat and the mouse, the hound and the hare than it is to reconcile them."
