Book content

( . . . )

(The first figure is clad in white and blue, its chin and lips are colored in red, the hands are wrapped in red ribbon)

Priest (solemnly):

- Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?

Dead man (monotonically):

- Because of my slander and greed. My tongue was ripped out and my fingers were chopped off.

(The second figure is clad in gray, its eyes and neck are tied with red ribbon)

Priest (solemnly):

- Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?

Dead man (monotonically):

- Because of me rebelling against the rightful order of things. My eyes were gouged out and my head was taken off my shoulders.

(The third figure is clad in red and gold, its chest is marred with red)

Priest (solemnly):

- Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?

Dead man (monotonically):

- Because of my loyalty and courage. My heart was ripped from my chest.

(The priest waves his hand. All three figures drop to the floor)

Priest (addresses the guards behind him):

- It's clear as day. The murderer is the one in red.

Guard (in confusion):

- If this is true... Then who killed the man himself?

(The priest turns to the audience and opens his white vestment, revealing black robes underneath. He brandishes a previously concealed snake and a gold cup)

Priest (mockingly):

- I'm afraid it will forever remain a secret!
