Leaping Match

The courtyard was packed with people eager to see the match. The flea would be the first to jump. He bowed to the audience and told them about himself. The flea was used to crowds. He was also very polite, as he had the blood of many lords and ladies in him. The flea was born on the ear of a cat on December 25. He spent the first eight months of his youth traveling from her ear to her tail, where he built his home, although it was quite windy there.
