ABSTRACT

did the same thing for three nights. Then for another three nights he kept hearing guitars and violins. Everyone danced, and the teacher danced with them. When he could no longer dance, they left. Then for another three nights he saw a grand mourning procession and a large coffin and a woman walking behind it and crying. They all began to cry with the woman for three nights. On the last night they said, “Now, you can cry since you’ve held out for so long.” Then they left the coffin and went away. The teacher found lots of money in the coffin. Then he paid the prince for the palace and remained rich and content. Collected by Mattia Di Martino at Noto.
