Man, lemme tell ya about my day in Sceaux. Wow, just wow. I’m a shepherd, right? So, I’m used to chillin’ with my sheep, not dealin’ with city chaos. But today? Pffft, it was a whole different ball game.
So, I roll into Sceaux, right? First thing I notice is the Parc de Sceaux. It’s massive! Like, I could lose a whole flock in there and not find ‘em for days. The trees are all fancy and stuff, and the chateau? Don’t even get me started. It’s like a postcard, man. But I’m not here for the sights. I got sheep to sell, and I’m already late.
I’m hustlin’ down Rue de la République, dodgin’ people like I’m in some kinda video game. Everyone’s in a rush, but I’m just tryin’ to get to the market. I’m thinkin’, “Why’s everyone so stressed? It’s just a Tuesday!” But then I remember, oh right, city life. Ugh.
So, I finally get to the market, and it’s packed. Like, sardines in a can packed. I’m tryin’ to set up my stall, but this dude next to me is blarin’ some techno music. I’m like, “Bro, I’m tryin’ to sell sheep here, not dance!” But he just laughs. Whatever, man.
Then, outta nowhere, this lady comes up. She’s all posh, with her fancy handbag and high heels. She looks at my sheep and goes, “Ew, they’re dirty!” I’m like, “Lady, they’re sheep! What do you expect? A spa day?” I mean, come on! I’m gettin’ mad, but I just smile. Gotta keep it cool, right?
After that, I’m tryin’ to make a sale. This guy, Pierre, he’s interested. He’s all like, “How much for the fluffy one?” I’m thinkin’, “Dude, they’re all fluffy!” But I tell him, “200 euros.” He looks shocked, like I just asked for his firstborn. I’m like, “C’mon, man, it’s Sceaux! Prices are high!”
Finally, I sell a couple of sheep. I’m feelin’ good, right? But then, I hear this loud crash. I turn around, and some kid just knocked over a whole stand of pastries. I’m talkin’ croissants, éclairs, the works. The baker is freakin’ out, yellin’ in French. I can’t help but laugh. Like, dude, it’s just pastries! But the kid? He’s cryin’. I feel bad, but also, it’s kinda funny.
So, I’m leavin’ the market, and I decide to stroll down Avenue de la Division Leclerc. It’s a nice street, but I’m still buzzin’ from the chaos. I see this little café, and I’m like, “I need a coffee.” I order one, and the barista is super chill. We start talkin’ about sheep, and he’s like, “You should bring them here!” I’m like, “Yeah, right! They’d eat all your pastries!”
As I’m sippin’ my coffee, I see the sun startin’ to set over the chateau. It’s beautiful, man. I’m thinkin’, “Maybe city life ain’t so bad.” But then I remember the lady with the handbag and the techno dude, and I’m like, “Nah, I’m good with my sheep.”
I head back home, and I’m exhausted. But I can’t stop laughin’ about the day. Sceaux is wild, man. Full of surprises. I love my sheep, but sometimes, a little chaos is just what you need.
So yeah, that was my day. Just another day in Sceaux, full of sheep, pastries, and a whole lotta craziness. Can’t wait to do it all again!
