Tale 123 told by Bishop on 28.11.2000
Breathe
"She WAS dead", the Matron said simply to the kneeling servant.
The servant only nodded.
"Why is she not?"
"It breathed... that's all, just breathed.", the servant muttered as if in
shock.
The Matron tapped her slippered foot impatiently, "Well what's this scroll for
then?"
"It's blank."
"Blank? Why bring me a BLANK scroll?"
"Because it also breathes..."
Then the Matron felt it... a breath.
"Where?", asked the Matron breathlessly.
The servant just shook her head while another round of screaming began in the
next room: 'STOP THE SCREAMING!!'
