Another Feast
The feasters marveled at Aidan’s catfish, and they all congratulated him for his skill and bravery. The cooks, who were beginning to doubt they would have enough fish for a proper feast, were especially grateful to have such a large quantity added to their store.
Unlike the treaty feast at Tambluff Castle, there was very little pomp and ceremony at the feechie feast. The feechies wore the same clothes they had worn earlier in the day. They sat where they pleased, or stood, if that’s what pleased them, for there were no tables anyway. There was no trumpeting or standing up or sitting down when Chief Gergo showed up. And whereas only the great nobles of Corenwald had been invited to Darrow’s treaty feast, the feechie feast was for the whole band, right down to the littlest wee-feechies.
There were no entertainers at the banquet. The feechies entertained themselves with games and frolics of various sorts—tree-climbing contests, fire-jumping contests, a spitting contest (which Mrs. Turtlebane won), vine-swinging exhibitions, and the most ferocious wrestling matches Aidan had ever seen. Also, a few good-natured fistfights broke out, which was the custom at all feechie celebrations.
Just as the games and contests seemed to be winding down, Aidan heard whooping and yodeling out in the swamp. Then the feechie feasters began a rhythmic chant:
Alligator, grabble-gator
Welcome to the feast.
Catch a gator, snatch a gator,
Scaly, scary beast.
Rassle gator, hassle gator
Boss of all the swamp.
Tug a gator, hug a gator,
Stomp and romp and chomp.
Tussle gator, russle gator,
Welcome to the feast.
Grip a gator, flip a gator,
Scaly, scary beast.
