Translated from by Beth Holding. Edited by Rachel Pott.
Sound the trumpets, the kingdom is great again: The great blond peacock has been elected! Contrary to the bawling or squawking of other peacocks, the great blond peacock chirps frantically. Since his coronation, he has chosen the falcon to defend the kingdom and has put the vulture in charge of internal security. As for the rat, he’ll be responsible for cleanliness and hygiene, both of which he has mastered perfectly. The wolf has agreed to take care of farming and agriculture, while diplomacy has been trusted to the hyena, and education to the birdbrains. The beaver, having supported the peacock throughout his campaign, has been tasked with the preservation of forests and greenery; he’s already delighted. Sound the trumpets, the chirping peacock has promised that this is how he will make the kingdom great and strong once more!


Sonnez trompes et trompettes, le royaume retrouvera sa grandeur : le grand paon blond vient d’être élu ! Contrairement aux autres paons qui braillent ou criaillent, lui gazouille frénétiquement. Depuis son couronnement, il a choisi le faucon pour s’occuper de la défense du royaume et a chargé le vautour de la sécurité intérieure. Quant au rat, il sera chargé du dossier de la salubrité et de l’hygiène, qu’il maîtrise à la perfection. Le loup a bien accepté de s’occuper de l’élevage, tandis que la diplomatie a été confiée à la hyène, et l’éducation à la linotte. Le castor l’ayant appuyé durant sa campagne, on lui a réservé la protection des forêts de feuillus ; il s’en réjouit déjà. Sonnez trompes et trompettes, le paon gazouilleur a promis que c’est ainsi que le royaume redeviendrait grand et fort !
