  1. "Amb l'església hem topat" i ja ens tens, dos països veïns, rivalitzant pel favor del papa... i jo em pregunto: Què va fer el papa amb un rinoceront?... Quedaren a partir d'aquí enemistats els dos països?...

    1. The Pope didn't do anything with the rhinoceros: the ship that was supposed to bring it to him sank.
      Unfortunately, religion and other forms of superstition did not.

  2. What an interesting title - made more so to learn it is about a real beast.

    1. Well, the rhinoceros is dead, while the "real beast" is still alive. ;-)
