La guerre
It was war.
Every morning, the men left to the battlefield.
Those who returned in the evening carried the dead and wounded.
The war had gone on for so long that no one remembered why it had started.
(Translated from the French)

La guerre
On the tenth day,
the battlefield looked like
a village. Fabien thought:
"I have no army,
and never had one;
but thanks to me,
the war is over."
