The Partridges

On Christmas Day, the Court Jester brings you the story of two partridges, not on a pear tree, but in…a shrubbery!A peasant roasts two perfect partridges. His wife eats them both. When the priest shows up for dinner, she sends him running and frames him for the theft.Les perdris is a greasy little tale about appetite, improvisation, and how quickly a lie can run when it's got gravy on its chin.📜 Text: Translation by Nathaniel E.
