Front page: The surprising decision by the mayor of Trifouillis-les-Oies has sparked a remarkable wave of emotion and curiosity.
Biscotte, the cat mayor of the small rural town of Trifouillis-les-Oies, has once again surprised his constituents. He has decreed, through a very official growl, that the old tree in the village center, a century-old oak beloved by all, should be adorned with a knitted scarf to withstand the upcoming harsh winter.
This surprising decision has sparked a roar of purrs from opponents and palpable excitement from supporters of this new project. Gertrude, an elderly lady in the village, expressed that she was “absolutely delighted by this idea, knitting for a tree, what a wonderful pastime for the long winter evenings!” before she went to fetch her multicolored balls of wool.
The fact is, the oak is a symbol of resistance and longevity in this little corner of the countryside. Indeed, several generations of villagers have grown up in the shade of its sturdy branches. Some have even lovingly carved their initials into its rough bark. And perhaps Biscotte, too, had felt this special affection for the venerable tree.
“It’s a historic day for Trifouillis-les-Oies!”, exclaims Maurice, the baker. “We often hear about knitted scarves for posts or trees in big cities, but here, it’s a first!” Maurice, though surprised, supports the idea and has decided to give a little milk to Biscotte every day, as a sign of respect for his bold decision.
No one knows exactly how this giant scarf will be made, or who will participate in its creation. One thing is certain: with this news, Biscotte has once again proved that he is an extraordinary mayor.
