Mrs. Deannola pestered Ansardo, arguing that if he could arrange a garden full of purples and reds in the first month, she would let him do so.Anza paid a lot of money to hire a magician to do the trick, and it did.When her husband found out about this, he asked her to perform the contract. Ansado heard that her doctor was so generous, and immediately asked his wife to cancel the promise. There was not a single one in this cheerful group of young men and women who did not praise Mr. Kindy, and almost sang him to the sky.The king bade Emilia go on with a story, and Emilia began, as if she had prepared herself, with confidence:

Gentle ladies, no one can deny Mr. Kindy's generosity, but if anyone thinks his feat is unique, I can easily give evidence to the contrary.After listening to this short story of mine, you will know that I am not lying. The country of Friuli, although the climate is cold, has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is excellent.There was a city called Uddin, and there once lived a beautiful lady named Diannola, and her husband, Gilberto, was a local gentry, and he was very handsome.Because of her beauty.In love with a lord named Ansaldo Gladense.He has a high status, is brave, and is courteous, so he is well-known far and near.Because he loves this lady, he tried his best to win her favor, and wrote countless love letters, but it was all in vain.

Later, when the lady saw him being so entangled, she really hated it.But even though she refused again and again, he still refused to give up, still loved her and begged her; she decided to make a bizarre request to him, so that he would quit in spite of the difficulties; The lobbyist woman said: "My dear lady, you have repeatedly told me that Mr. Ansardo loves me more than anything else; I have asked him to keep all the precious gifts he has given me, because I will never see his property and leave it alone. but if I can believe that he really loves me as much as you said, then I will definitely fall in love with him and make him fulfill his wish. I only ask him now One thing, if he can do it, I can believe that he really loves me, then I am naturally willing to listen to him."

The woman said, "Then what does Madam want from him?" The lady said: "What I mean is this. Next month is the first month. I want him to open a garden near this city. The garden should be like in May, full of red flowers and green grass, and lush trees. ;if he can't, then please never send you or anyone to me again; if he persists, I won't keep his secrets from my husband and my family any more. Now, I must tell them about it, and tell them to drive him out." After hearing the lady's request and promise, Ansado felt that it was really a difficult problem, and it was almost impossible to do it. He also knew that the lady's request was nothing more than to make him die, but he still tried his best. give it a try.So he went around asking if anyone could give him some advice on this matter, to think of a way.At last he found a magician, who promised to do it for him by magic, as long as he would pay him a lot.There was no reason for Ansado to be unwilling, so he agreed immediately, and then happily waited for the appointed day to arrive.

On that day, the weather was very cold, with ice and snow everywhere.On New Year's Eve, the magician chose a meadow on the outskirts of the city to perform magic tricks. According to some people who saw it with their own eyes at the time, a very beautiful garden appeared there the next morning. all kinds of fruits.Mr. Ansado was very happy to see it, and quickly picked some of the most beautiful flowers and fruits, and quietly sent them to the lady. How much he loves her, and mentions to her the solemn promise she made herself. Since she is a faithful wife, she has to try to keep the promise.

The madam had already heard people talking about the miraculous garden, but when she saw the flowers and fruits being delivered, she felt a little regretful.Although she was remorseful, she was still very curious and wanted to see those miracles, so she went to watch the garden with several other ladies in the city.After seeing her, she was full of praise and amazement, and when she got home, she remembered that she had to keep the promise, and she was really sad beyond words.Because she was preoccupied, she inevitably showed some signs. When her husband saw it, he asked her again and again why.At first she couldn't say a word because of this matter, but later she was forced to tell her husband the whole story.

When Gilberto heard this, he was very angry at first, but then he thought that his wife's intentions were completely pure, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Diane Naura, a cautious and chaste woman, should never pay attention to those who make connections, let alone use her chastity to negotiate conditions with others. For a man who is in love, once these If you listen to the words in your ears and keep them in your heart, you will have a power far beyond what people imagine, and you can do even the most difficult things. It is a big mistake for you to listen to the people who pull the strings; It would be more wrong than wrong to make a condition. But I know your motives are pure. In order to release you from the bondage that your own promise has imposed on you, I will allow you to do once more than any man can do; It is also for fear that Anzaduo will be deceived by you and will call the magic wood master to harm us. I think you must go to him once, if you can try to fulfill your promise without compromising your chastity, of course That's good, if you can't keep your virginity, then you have to lose your virginity to him once, as long as you don't lose your soul to him."

After hearing his words, his wife burst into tears, and refused to accept his magnanimity no matter what.But no matter how she confessed, he insisted on her doing so.So at dawn the next day, his wife got up and dressed up, took a personal maid, and two servants led the way to Mr. Ansado's house.Ansardo was greatly surprised when he heard that the person he liked had come, and immediately invited the magician, and said to him: "You see, what a precious treasure your skill has brought me!" Then he went out to meet the lady, with the utmost respect and decorum, without showing any frivolity.So the three of them walked into a gorgeous inner room together, where a large fire was burning.After Mr. Ansado sat her down, he said:

"Madam, I have loved you for so long, if my love deserves a little repayment from you, then I beg you to tell me that you came to me so early and brought these people here , What is it for? I think you won't bother to answer." The madam was ashamed and replied with tears in her eyes: "My lord, I came here neither because I love you, nor because I have an appointment, and I have to; but my husband ordered me to come here. Although you are not using the right things, he appreciates that you have worked hard for me , so he sent me here regardless of my reputation and his own. I came here on his order, and I am ready to satisfy you this time."

An Sado was already very surprised when he saw her coming in just now, but now he was even more surprised when he heard what she said.Gilberto's grandeur moved him so much that his desire turned into sympathy, and he said: "Ma'am, I have listened to your words. I feel that since your husband cares about my love for you so much, if I tarnish his reputation again, that would be intolerable to God. Now I want to treat you as my own sister and leave you alone." You stay here for a while, and you can go back whenever you like, I just hope you can thank your husband for me, and please treat me as your brother and your servant from now on."

The lady was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately said: "Based on your previous noble behavior, I conclude that there will be no accidents when I come to the house today, and I will definitely get your forgiveness; I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!" After speaking, she left and went home, and Ansado sent many people to escort her all the way.At home she told all this to her husband Gilberto, and he and Ansardo became very close friends ever since.Besides, the magician, Ansado paid him the full amount of the reward, because he saw that Gilberto had such generosity, he didn't care about his wife being taken in by others; and Ansado did the same to his favorite magnanimity, he said: "I saw that Mr. Gilberto was so generous that he even gave up his own reputation. You can even give up your own love. If I can't bear to give up a few rewards, it is really intolerable! I know this Money will be of great use to you, so I hope you keep it." Mr. Ansado felt embarrassed and repeatedly asked him to take the money, at least part of it, but how could he accept it?Three days later, the magician removed the garden, and took his leave.Ansardo wished God's blessing on him.Since then, Ansado has completely dispelled his lust for that lady, and only has a legitimate respect for her. What do you think of this story, lovely ladies?Although Jindi let his lover belong to her original husband, but his lover was already dead at the time. At that time, he was already desperate and his feelings were cold; while Ansado had pursued himself for a long time with great difficulty. Which of these two things should be more worthy of our admiration than the generosity with which he took possession of his lover, when his zeal was only hotter than ever, and a new hope was kindled?It seems to me ridiculous to think that these two acts of generosity can be compared.
