The tavern-keeper burst out laughing, "Lions!. Lions!. What is all this about lions?" "Are there no lions in Algeria then?" "Moi foi! I have been here for twenty years and I have never seen any. though I did once hear. I think there was a report in the newspaper. but it was long ago. somewhere in the south." At that moment they reached the tavern, a wayside pot house, the sort of thing one can see by any main road.
