– Is that a boy or a girl?
– It’s a girl. Joan of Arc…She dressed up as a man all the French followed her to fight the English.
– Did she win?
– Yeah..and no. She heard voices. ‘Stop being a peasant, be a soldier. France needs you. Truth. Justice.’ And she won. She beat the English. And then…
– Then what?
– The French burned her… alive!
