The Advocate
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”In the middle of a group seated in a circle stands the instructor, posing questions to any individual.
However, none of those questioned should answer under penalty of forfeiting a token, for to their left sits an advocate who speaks on their behalf. For example, the instructor asks A: “Do you enjoy reading?” B, acting as the advocate, replies: “Indeed, a book is my bedtime cordial.” To a question directed at B: “Are you not yawning?” C answers: “Oh no, for in such fine company I am not bored in the least.” If the question to C is: “But you are B’s defender,” and B answers “yes,” then B must forfeit a token. The game’s variety depends on wit, that inexhaustible wellspring of ideas.
