.""Each dream trapped in my net I carefully examined; for every dream cherished andsaved I released a dozen, and finally from my store of superlatives I fashioned mywonderful crystals, and these I brought down the long road from Dai-Passant.Then,only last night, under the most mysterious circumstances, my precious goods werestolen by a robber only Cugel claims to have seen.""I now point out that the dreams, whether near or far, represent marvels of trulysuperlative quality, and I feel that a careful description of the items  "Duke Orbal held up his hand."I must reiterate the judgment rendered upon Bazzard.A stringent rule stipulates that neither imaginary nor purported marvels qualify for thecompetition.Perhaps we will have the opportunity to adjudicate your dreams onanother occasion.Now we must pass on to Cugel's pavilion and investigate hisprovocative 'Nowhere'."Cugel stepped up on the dais before his exhibit."Your Grace, I present for yourinspection a legitimate marvel; not a straggle of insects, not a pedantic almanac, but anauthentic miracle." Cugel whisked away the cloth."Behold!"The Duke made a puzzled sound."A pile of dirt? A stump? What is that odd-lookingmember emerging from the hole?""Your Grace, I have here an opening into an unknown space, with the arm of one of198aaTTnnssFFffooDDrrPPmmYYeeYYrrBB22.BBAAClick here to buyClick here to buywwmmwwoowwcc.AAYYBBYYBB r rits denizens.Inspect this tentacle! It pulses with the life of another cosmos! Notice thegolden luster of the dorsal surface, the green and lavender of these encrustations.On theunderside you will discover three colors of a sort never before seen!"With a nonplussed expression Duke Orbal pulled at his chin."This is all very well,but where is the rest of the creature? You present not a marvel, but the fraction of amarvel! I can make no judgment on the basis of a tail, or a hindquarters, or a proboscis,whatever the member may be.Additionally, you claim that the hole enters a far cosmos;still I see only a hole, resembling nothing so much as the den of a wysen-imp."Iolo thrust himself forward."May I venture an opinion? As I reflect upon events, Ihave become convinced that Cugel himself stole my Dreams!" "Your remarks interest noone," said Cugel."Kindly hold your tongue while I continue my demonstration."Iolo was not to be subdued so easily.He turned to Duke Orbal and cried in apoignant voice: "Hear me out, if you will! I am convinced that the 'robber' is no morethan a figment of Cugel's imagination! He took my dreams and hid them, and where elsebut in the hole itself? For evidence I cite that length of string which leads into the hole."Duke Orbal inspected Cugel with a frown."Are these charges true? Answer exactly,since all can be verified."Cugel chose his words with care."I can only affirm what I myself know.Conceivablythe robber hid Iolo's dreams in the hole while I was otherwise occupied.For whatpurpose? Who can say?"Duke Orbal asked in a gentle voice: "Has anyone thought to search the hole for thiselusive 'bag of dreams'?"Cugel gave an indifferent shrug, "Iolo may enter now and search to his heart'scontent.""You claim this hole!" retorted Iolo."It therefore becomes your duty to protect thepublic!"For several minutes an animated argument took place, until Duke Orbal intervened."Both parties have raised persuasive points; I feel, however, that I must rule againstCugel.I therefore decree that he search his premises for the missing dreams and recoverthem if possible."Cugel disputed the decision with such vigor that Duke Orbal turned to glance alongthe skyline, whereupon Cugel moderated his position."The judgment of your Grace ofcourse must prevail, and if I must, I will cast about for Iolo's lost dreams, although histheories are clearly absurd.""Please do so, at once [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
