| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome back everyone to 100 one classic Short Stories and Tales. |
| 0:33.7 | This is your host John Hagadorn, and today an interesting story from Charlotte |
| 0:37.7 | Jiang, one of our favorite narrators of history here at 1001 Classic Short Stories. |
| 0:43.2 | Today's story is titled The Sheppard Girl of Nantaire, |
| 0:46.0 | and the story deals largely with a group of people called the Gauls. |
| 0:49.8 | As most of you know, slavery has existed almost since the beginning of man. |
| 0:54.7 | The fourth century Roman historian Amianus Marcellinas wrote that the Gauls were tall, light-skinned, |
| 1:00.6 | light-haired, and light-eyed. He wrote almost all galls are tall and fair-skinned with reddish |
| 1:06.1 | hair. Their savage eyes make them fearful objects. They are eager to quarrel and excessively |
| 1:11.2 | truculent. When in the course of a dispute any of them calls in his wife, |
| 1:15.4 | a creature with gleaming eyes much stronger than her husband. They are more than a match for a whole group of foreigners, |

| 1:24.7 | her great white arms and begins to deliver a reign of punches mixed with kicks like missiles |
| 1:29.0 | launched by the twisted strings of a catapult. |
| 1:32.4 | The Gauls were actually Celtic peoples of continental Europe during the |
| 1:35.6 | Iron Age and the Roman period, roughly from 5th century BC to 5th century AD. The area they |
| 1:42.1 | originally inhabited was known as Gaul. Their Gaulish language forms the main |
| 1:46.3 | branch of the continental Celtic languages. By the fourth century BC, they had expanded over much |
| 1:52.1 | of what is now France, Belgium, the Netherlands, |
| 1:54.6 | Switzerland, southern Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. |
| 1:59.6 | By virtue of controlling the trade routes along the river systems of the Rhone, the Sen, the Rhine, and the Danube. |
| 2:06.1 | They also expanded into northern Italy, the Balkans, Transylvania, and Galatia. |
