The 2nd of Asterix’s adventure begins with Getafix breaking his Golden sickle which was essential 
for the magic potion to be properly prepared and was also required by Getafix for the upcoming annual druid conference. So Asterix and Obelix set for Lutetia to purchase a sickle from the best manufacturer Metalurgix, a distant cousin of Obelix. But our heroes, as they reach Lutetia, find that Metallurgix is kidnapped and they get misled by the sickle-traffickers, who taking advantage of the demand for sickles as the conference date approaches near, raised their price. Also as usual the Romans got involved in the the happenings and we find the Gauls visiting and breaking the gaols more than once. The running gag of Obelix’s irritation on him not being allowed to have a drop of the potion and Cacofonix bound and gagged at the end of the book leaves the readers smiling still even at the final pages of this laugh riot.
