 Once upon a time there lived a little boy called Til Ulenspighel. His 
father was a good blacksmith, his mother a kindly woman but they never 
imagined that they had brought into the world naughtiest rascal ever heard of!
Til had such a lively personality, bright and naughty, that people couldn't 
help smiling when they saw him. And he got up to such mischief and all sorts 
of tricks that we can't help smiling to ourselves . . . But as you'll soon 
see, the ones who didn't see the funny side of things were his fellow 
citizens. The minute he learned to speak, Til pulled people's legs. If a man, 
for instance, had flat feet, Til would greet him by saying,
   "Good day, Mr. Flatfeet!" And if a lady had a red nose, he would say, "Good
evening, Mrs. Rednose!" He enjoyed playing tricks and teasing everyone. Of 
course, the neighbours complained to his father, saying,
   "Mr. Ulenspighel, what a rude son you have!" And so, one day, Til's father 
said to him,
   "Listen, son, why don't people like you? Do you annoy them?"
   "Who, me?" said Til with an innocent air. "I never bother anyone. It's 
other people that shake their fists at me whenever they see me and say nasty 
things."
   "Hmm!" said his father. "I wonder if that's really so. l'm going to market 
with the donkey. Get up behind!" Till didn't need to be told twice and he 
clambered behind his father.
   But the second he was on the donkey's back, he hung a notice on his 
shoulders on which he had written: 'Whoever reads this is a donkey.' People 
did read it and they were offended, so they shook their fists and shouted, 
"Oh, you horrid boy, Til! What a little horror you are!" On hearing these 
shouts, Til's father, who knew nothing about the notice, muttered:
   "You're right, Til. People are angry with you, though goodness knows why! 
Don't worry," he added, "come and sit in front and we'll see if they still 
call you names." Til did as he was told and slung the notice over his chest. 
Though his father couldn't see it, he could see other people as they shook 
their fists, scowled, shouted and yelled insults, and he said, "Folk don't 
like you, Til. But pay no attention to them and go your own way!" And Til 
laughed up his sleeve....
   Time went by and Til began to weary of long faces every time people saw 
him. He joked and teased folk now and again, but what harm was there in that? 
All he wanted to do was amuse himself and others as well. One day, a company 
of wandering entertainers came to the town: actors, sword swallowers and 
acrobats. They made a great impression on the lad, who stared at them 
open-mouthed. While holding a pole in their hands, they kept their balance as 
they walked the tightrope across the road. How he would love to do the same. 
The people who now shook their fists at him would clap their hands. No sooner 
thought than done, the boy picked up a pole, stretched a rope between two 
trees in the wood and started to practise. Of course, it wasn't easy and he 
fell more than once. But in the end, he felt pretty secure and decided to hold
a show. He went through the streets crying,
   "Tomorrow, Til Ulenspighel, the acrobat, will walk the tightrope!" Filled 
with curiosity, everyone came to watch.
   Til had stretched the rope between his balcony and a tree in the nearby 
wood: the rope lay above the river and the young lad climbed on. The crowd 
that, at first had laughed and made a noise, grew quiet after a while, and 
were impressed:
   "He's clever all right," someone said. "He's a real acrobat," said someone 
else. "We were wrong about him!"
   At that moment, Til's mother, who knew nothing about her son's gymnastics, 
hearing the murmur of the crowd, went onto the balcony . . . and saw her son 
walking the rope suspended over empty space. Frightened, she shouted,
   "Til, come down at once!" And seeing that the boy was not doing as he was 
told, she picked up the scissors and cut the rope. Til fell with a splash into
the river. You can imagine the people! First they started to laugh, snigger 
and make fun of the poor lad as he struggled soaking from the water.
   "Hey, acrobat! If that had been the ground instead of water, you'd have had
a cracked head, wouldn't you?" they called, chuckling, and Til said to 
himself, "Laugh if you want to, he who laughs last laughs longest! . . ."
   Some days later, Til announced he was going to repeat the show, this time 
not over the river but above the main road. Everyone rushed to watch, hoping 
to see him fall off and hurt himself. Before he ventured on to the rope, Til 
called out, "To make it more difficult for me, I'm going to carry a sack on my
back. Every spectator will give me his left shoe. I'll put it in the sack and 
hand it back at the end of the show." Everyone did this. Til walked the 
tightrope until he reached the middle of the road, and from the heights he 
said, "Now I'm going to give vou back your shoes. There they are!" and opening
the sack, he emptied out the shoes.
   You can picture the confusion that reigned then. Not only did the onlookers
get hit on the head by shoes, but everyone hunted for his own shoe without 
managing to find it; he'd pick one up, but it belonged to somebody else, and 
he'd throw it down again, and start to look for another, argue, exchange 
insults . . . and Til, from a window on high looked down on the pandemonium 
and chuckling said,
   "Ha! He who laughs last laughs longest!"
