The violon player
- That's granduncle Jean who told us this history one evening around the chimney fire.
- Granduncle Jean was one of the last to observe still the custom of "veiller".
- In the past, people of the village gathered in the home of someone of theirs.
- The women spun the wool while the men made baskets in hazel.
- And, at the same time, all this little world spoke, commented, dreamt...and that is what we call "veiller".
- During the period of fairs, in the beginning of the automn, a violon player arrived from a village accross the woods to entertain the assembly.
- Late at the night, the violon player , heavily loaded with ham and sausages, started back.
- But when he attained the forest, a pack of wolf followed him.
- The violon player threw sausages first.
- Then he threw ham.
- Now his hands were empty and the wolves came nearer and nearer.
- So he took his violon and started to play.
