The girl who wanted to fly

In this fabliau, a starry-eyed young woman dreams of flight—and a cunning student offers to equip her with the necessary “tail.” What follows is a cautionary tale of misplaced trust, high aspirations, and what really happens when you try to take off without checking the fine print.

La damoiselle qui vost voleror is a story for everyone who’s ever wanted to fly... or at least get off the ground.
