Festival!

Thankyou, lord of luck, for today you were really generous to this little wee fool! I was standing today at my usual spot in the crossroads trying my best not to mind my own business. I was busy meeting plenty of nice people, chatting about silly things and juggling all that I could get hold of in the faces of those daring to come within three feet of me. That is, the usual thing. A smile here, a smile there.  Good stuff.

Then, suddenly, there's this nobly-looking fellow that stops right in front of me. He looks down on me (which is not hard) along the length of his nose and looks really thoughtful. I of course smile up at him, wondering what he's thinking about. We stand like that for a while.
"Hope ya're having a fine day milord?" I ask him after a while - you know, to get him going. It's not like he's really hearing me though. He keeps looking down at me and not until another good while does he finally say something, albeit not something particularly informative: "You, you there." he says. I nod patiently, because well, it's only me there. "Are you a jester?" he continues. With a big whopping belled hat on my head I can't really deny that. So I answer him, that yes, that is indeed what I am. And a fool to sport. 
... And then he promptly offers me a job! And not just any job - as a hired performer at the coming harvest festival! Just like that! Hired entertainment - that's me! He mentioned something about payment too, but by that time I was too busy dancing with farmer Glick's prize cows to really care.

I'd planned to go to the festival anyway of course - wild horses would not have stopped me - but to have someone just show up in a crowd and actually invite me to it! That's just so funny I don't know what do with myself. Thanks mylord Elbahn, you surely had a blast with me today.
