This illustration comes from a 14th Century French book about King Arthur. The premise here is that Sir Launcelot has been messing around with the King's wife (or some such wickedness) and he's now gone to confess to this hermit who lives in a wicker house in this tree here.
The contest is to see who can come up with the best caption for this picture, besides "For thy penance thy horse is fixin' to kick thee in the @®$€." I already thought of that.
I don't know if there will be a prize. Maybe if somebody donates one. I don't know who will be doing the judging, either.
Reasonable person

"Forsooth, crafty villain, I believeth thee not that mine fine steed walketh upon two legs. Get thee down from this tree that I might smite thee sound and proper."
I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.Location: Kent, Ohio

People ask priests all the time. That's not as absurd a notion as you think.

You're right. It's even more absurd than I think.
