Mistaken for a Miracle

Gaius, Margaret and Baby Pierre left San Sebastian on the train. After several hours they arrived in Lourdes, and decided to stay overnight. After dinner Baby Pierre rolled down the hill to the Grotto, to see the famous evening procession. He saw wheels, and feet, and looking up, he saw candles in paper cones. He heard voices singing piously. Ave Ave Ave Maria! I know this song, said Baby Pierre. He sang Ave Ave Ave Maria! On hearing this, several people looked down in his direction. A miracle! said someone. A little stone is singing to Our Lady. He bent down to pick up Baby Pierre. But Baby Pierre was too quick for him and rolled away towards the cathedral. He got stuck under the wheels of a blue hooded barouche being pulled by a nurse in a red and black cape. What's this? said the nurse. She kicked him out of the way. That's it, I'm leaving, said Baby Pierre. I thought they respected stones around here.
