ABSTRACT
Jachinu was made a general, the king and queen lived on ever after, happy and content, while we remain here without a cent. Told by Ninfa Lobaido to Salvatore Salomone-Marino in Borgetto.
Once upon a time there was a merchant, who was married and hadtwo children, a son named Ciciruni, and a daughter as beautifulas the sun itself. It happened that the merchant’s wife died, and he re-married. But this woman was enormously jealous of her stepdaughter’s exceptional beauty and did everything possible to make her life miserable.
