Description:

O's father, a blacksmith, pulls strings for an audition in the capital // O (~6 yo) won't stop singing, even though now too old // O got away with it in the summer, but now that its winter, people are hearing // The Ear, bemused, decides that a child should judge a child, and chooses Mercif (~10 yo) to judge // Me is anxious, but also prejudiced, believing O to be wrong // O's father, the local cantor, the Ear and Me in attendance // O misbehaves, singing the wrong song // Me sees cantor about to hit O // Me redirects and encourages O to sing correct song // O sings song and Me has an opening // O says it is the will of the gods // O is taken away from family and inducted into cantorship early
