To their friends they are known as Bidoni No. 1 and Bidoni No. 2. One day, on parade, the captain notices that the breeches of Bidoni No. 1 are too long and orders the Lieutenant to see that they are made shorter. The Lieutenant passes the order on to the Sergeant, who, happening to be in the barrack room and finding Bidoni there (only it is Bidoni No. 2 this time) instructs him to take three inches off the offending garment. The Sergeant follows directly afterwards and gives the recruit a similar order. As a result. private Bidoni No. 2 appears on parade next day with breeches which do not reach down to his knees. The Colonel is scandalized, and as a result, both Bidonis are sent to the guardhouse, where they are left to commiserate with each other as best they may. Written by
