520 _a"Le duel au balai" by Ch. Wilhelm is a short story written during the late 19th century. This humorous tale revolves around the themes of pride, prejudice, and an unexpected transformation of character, showcasing the interactions between a retired general and the local priest in a small French village. The story begins with a proud and irritable general who holds a deep disdain for the church and its representatives. His stubbornness leads to an ongoing battle with the village's priest, particularly over a customary procession that requires the area in front of the general's property to be cleaned. After refusing to allow anyone to sweep his grounds, the general is caught off guard when he discovers the priest quietly sweeping in the night, defying his orders. This unexpected encounter leads to a comedic "duel" where the general takes up the broom himself, unveiling a more humble side as he wrestles with his convictions and ultimately joins in the religious observance he had previously scorned, showcasing a change of heart inspired by the priest’s steadfast faith.
