“Whenever anything goes missing or gets broken, I’m blamed for it, whether it’s my fault or not. It’s true that I’m a bit on the clumsy side and my arms and legs don’t always go exactly where I want them to, but it’s still not right to blame everything on me. I did lose two sacks of wheat once, but that was because a lad tricked me into going to look at an enormous fish, and while I was gone, some other lads robbed my cart. And it’s true that I once harnessed the wrong ox to the grinder. It was ...a young one that hadn’t been properly trained, and it went berserk and pulled the whole thing to pieces. But everyone makes mistakes sometimes, don’t they? I’m not really a walking disaster, but I have to admit I found myself wondering about it as I hammered on the compound gates. Maybe it would have been smarter to keep riding until I reached the outskirts of the city and then abandon the horse when he was too tired to follow me home. But you know what? I couldn’t have done it.MoreLessRead More Read Less
