When the lay was finished, the troubadour smiled and bowed. He blew a stray lock of his rosy hair out of his eyes and asked the gathered crowd, “What story would you hear? Tell me.”
The old man brought forth a coin to ask for a story.
The troubadour said, “No, no. I have set out no vessels for receiving gifts, as you can see. There is no cost excepting the time that you take to stand and listen, if you will.”
Wandering storytellers are known as troubadours, and they come by their sweet voices and their enchanting storytelling from a surprising ancestor.
