The Partridges

On Christmas Day, the Court Jester brings you the story of two partridges, not on a pear tree, but in…a shrubbery!

A peasant roasts two perfect partridges. His wife eats them both. When the priest shows up for dinner, she sends him running and frames him for the theft.

Les perdris is a greasy little tale about appetite, improvisation, and how quickly a lie can run when it's got gravy on its chin.
