A Careless Angel
-Paul Poissel
A certain Petit, who works as a gymnast in a traveling circus, dreams on January 10 that an angel comes down from heaven and bets that it can climb up to the peak of his roof with its eyes close. "Go on," says Petit, who would never dare such a feat himself. The angel closes its eyes. "I'm going," it says. The angel climbs up to the peak of the roof. "You want to see me come down with one leg?" he asks. "Go on," says Petit. The angel tucks one of its legs up in its white robe. It climbs down from the peak of the roof, but slips and falls into the street. Petet goes out: the angel has broken its leg. "Must happen to them fairly often," Petit thinks.
