-Well, Dad, then tell me the story of Chorche, the lammergeier, when he found Roland's lost sword!

-But I told you that one yesterday!

-So, pleaseTell me a new one, one about bears or marmots!

-Well, let's do something better. We'll go and meet the snake and Chorche, and we'll walk in Roland's footsteps and find Monte Perdido, and there we'll have a thousand and one new stories to tell. There we'll have a thousand and one new stories to tell. How about it, son?
