BABAR THE KING (10)

BABAR THE KING (10)

Arthur and Zephir are very happy to have had all the cakes they wanted, but they are even more delighted when at the distribution of prize, they hear Cornelius read out :
" First prize for music: a tie between Arthur and Zephir. "



Very proudly, with wreaths on their heads, they went back to their seats.

After having rewarded the good scholars, Cornelius made a noble speech.

". . . And now I wish you all a pleasant holiday ! " he ended up.

Everyone clapped hard and applauded loudly.



Then quite weary, he sat down, but alas and alack,　his fine hat was on the chair and he crushed it completely.



" A regular pancake ! " said Zephir.

Cornelius was aghast, and sadly looked at what was left of his hat.
What would he wear on the next formal occasion ?
