The father was saying to his son :
‘The sage lives content with little. Look at me, my son. I do not love pomp. I am never seen in clothes decked with gold lace and stones; I leave that false splendor to badly organized souls.’
Here the deep shouts which proceeded from the direction of the Halles burst out with fresh force of bell and uproar.
‘What is that?’ inquired the child.
The father replied:
‘It is the Saturnalia.’
All at once, he caught sight of the two little ragged boys behind the green swan-hutch.
‘There is the beginning,’ said he.
And, after a pause, he added:
‘Anarchy is entering this garden.’
In the meanwhile, his son took a bite of his brioche, spit it out, and, suddenly burst out crying.
‘What are you crying about?’ demanded his father.
‘I am not hungry any more,’ said the child.
The father’s smile became more accentuated.
‘One does not need to be hungry in order to eat a cake.’ ‘My cake tires me. It is stale.’
‘Don’t you want any more of it?’
‘No.’
The father pointed to the swans.
‘Throw it to those palmipeds.’
The child hesitated. A person may not want any more of his cake; but that is no reason for giving it away.
The father went on:
‘Be humane. You must have compassion on animals.’
And, taking the cake from his son, he flung it into the basin.
