We, the Children 

of Notre-Dame

A True Skating Story

The man sat down and looked at the Cathedral. 
It was impossible not to see the children of Notre-Dame dancing, floating, flying freely in the air. 

The man also witnessed the aggression.
Many people come and go—the Cathedral is a major attraction. The man felt disturbed by what he was about to witness.
A stranger violently attacked one of the children, using his umbrella like a weapon.

“But I said I was sorry,” the child replied to the threatening behaviour.
The aggressive man immediately called the police. He seemed satisfied with what was happening, as if enjoying the harm he had caused.

The children of Notre-Dame instantly fled, scared of the police and the possible consequences. The police arrived sometime later.
On the way from the Cathedral to the skate park, the man noticed three police officers and approached them, his heart full of a sense of injustice.

“Excuse me,” said the man, “are you looking for the skaters?”
“Yes, we are,” replied one of the officers.
“They didn’t do anything wrong. Just having fun. Just being young. Just skating in front of the Cathedral.”
“Skating here, as they have been for the last thirty years, right?”
“Right,” said the police officer.
“The stranger attacked them out of hate. They accidentally hit him, without any harmful intent.”

“Are you ready to testify, sir?” said the policeman firmly.
“Yes, I am,” replied the man calmly.
“Alright then, alright then,” said the officer, giving the order to call off the search.
The man left, but he seemed determined to return to the Cathedral and meet the children.
