ABSTRACT
Once upon a time there was a husband and a wife, rich but withoutchildren, and a certain monk by the name of Brother Ghiniparowent in and out of their house as their friend. Now, one fine day a rumor reached the husband’s ears that his wife was
amusing herself with this saintly monk. Each time that the husband went to work in the fields, these two cooked a pot of macaroni and brazenly ate together. Just think of how tormented the husband became if not furious when he heard this news! So, the husband came with a mason on the sly and had him make a little window right behind the stove, saying that it was to get rid of the smoke more easily. After the mason left, the husband took leave of his wife and went off into the fields.
