But like all legendary simpletons, Gigot has a heart of 36-carat gold and when he outsmarts the smart alecks, many customers in a good many lands are going to have their happiest cry since Little Red Ridinghood...."
The unsigned piece highlights that Gigot's inability to speak leads to mockery and misunderstanding, but his true nature is one of kindness and intelligence. This contrasts with the common perception of him as a fool.
