ABSTRACT
Once there was a peddler from Capaci, one of those usually foundselling hay in Palermo, but this one was leading a donkey loaded withcarob fruit. Well, one of the local street thieves came along, reached with his hand, and grabbed a fistful of carobs. But the man from Capaci dealt him such a swift kick in the crotch that it laid the poor fellow flat out on the ground.
