THIEFIUS’S

FIRST STORY:

THIEFIUS AND THE JULIUS CAESAR PENDANT

‘One day, I think it was a Wednesdonicus or maybe it was a Thursillium, I can’t remember,’ began Thiefius, ‘I decided to visit the Temple of Jupiter. I often go there to steal things, you see, because I am a thief.’

‘Aha!’ said Caecilius at this, pouncing on Thiefius and stroking his hair, but not fondly. ‘You have given yourself away already!’

‘No, no, that was just a joke,’ said Thiefius, ‘of course I’m not a thief. In fact, I like to visit the Temple of Jupiter to thank him for blessing me with a brilliant sense of humour. If it were not for Jupiter, I would not be able to make jokes about being a thief.’

‘I see,’ said Caecilius so gravely that a gravestone came out of his eyes. ‘Carry on then.’

‘Well, up the hill I went to the Temple of Jupiter,’ continued Thiefius. ‘It was a sunny day and as I went I sang a song about foxes.’

‘Let us hear the song,’ thundered Caecilius. ‘It could be important.’

‘OK,’ said Thiefius, and he started to sing:

A fox there was, who liked to eat

The grapes upon the vine

He liked to eat

The grapes upon the vine
