One of the Best

Asterix et le Chaudron (Asterix and the Cauldron) is one of the best of the Asterix books in French. Asterix is exiled from the village, when a cauldron full of coins is stolen while it is in his keeping.Some of the very best jokes, and funniest situations, including a talking cooking pot, and the Roman tax collector, who talks in multiple choice. Also, the funniest ending, where something good finally happens to the hapless pirates who have been sunk so many times by our heros.
