Chapter 106 105. Chico Pedrillo

Once upon a time there was a couple who had a daughter.They finally married her off.On the day of the wedding, they invited all their relatives, and after the wedding ceremony, the banquet began.I'm enjoying my meal, but there's not enough wine.Then the father said to the bride-daughter, "Go down to the cellar and get some wine." The bride goes into the cellar, puts the bottle under the barrel, removes the cork, and waits for the bottle to be filled.As she waited, she began to think: Today I am married, and nine months from now I will have a son, I will name him Chico Pedrillo, I will dress him, I will dress him Put on the shoes, and he'll be a man... But what if Chico Pedrillo dies?what!my poor son!So she wept bitterly and couldn't make a sound.

The bungs of the casks were left open, and the wine flowed all over the cellar.Those who were eating were waiting for the bride to come, waiting for the bride to come, but the bride never showed up.Father said to mother, "Go into the cellar and see if she's asleep there!" When the mother came down to the cellar, she saw that her daughter was weeping badly, and asked, "What's the matter with you, daughter? What happened?" "Oh, my mother, I'm thinking, I'm married today, and nine months later I have a son, and I'll name him Chico Pedrillo; but if Chico Pedrillo dies, How to do it?"

"Ah! My poor grandson!" "Ah! my poor son!" The two women couldn't help crying bitterly. By this time the cellar was already overflowing with wine.The guests who stayed at the table waited for the wine to come, waited for the wine to come, and the wine didn't come.The father said: "Something happened to the two of them, I have to go and have a look." When he came to the cellar, he saw two women crying like two children, and said, "What kind of evil is this for you?" "Ah! my husband, you don't know! We are thinking that today our woman is married and will soon have a son, whom we will name Chico Pedrillo; but if Chico Pedrillo is dead, what to do?"

"Ah!" cried the father, "our poor Chico Pedrillo!" The three of them sat in the wine and wept bitterly. When the bridegroom saw none of them came back, he said, "What happened in the cellar? Let me have a look." He also came down. He heard crying: "What evil have you fallen into, why are you crying?" Said the bride: "Ah, my husband! We are thinking that we are married today and will have a son whom we will name Chico Pedrillo. But if our Chico Pedrillo Lilo is dead, what to do?" The groom wanted to see if they were joking with him at first, but when he realized they were serious, he got angry at them and yelled, "I suspected you were a bit stupid, but I never expected you So stupid." And he said: "Now I don't want to waste time with you fools!" Then he said: "I'm so unlucky! I'm going to go and hang out!" And finally said: "Yes , sir! And you, my dear, now you can rest easy, you will never see me again. Unless I meet three people stupider than you in my journey!" And he went away, even Without looking back, he left the house.

He came to the bank of a river where a man was trying to unload hazelnuts from a boat with a pitchfork. "Good man, what are you doing with that pitchfork?" "I've been working all day, but I haven't unloaded a single hazelnut." "It won't come off! Why don't you try it with a shovel?" "With a shovel? Oh, I never thought of that." "Here is one!" said the bridegroom. "This man is stupider than all my wife's family." He walked and walked until he reached the bank of Lingyi River.There a farmer was watering two cows with a spoon.

"what are you doing?" "I've been here three hours and I still can't get enough of these two beasts!" "Why don't you let them stick their mouths into the water and drink themselves?" "Mouth in water? Ah, great idea, I never thought of that." "Two!" said the groom and continued on his way. Walking, walking, he saw a woman standing on the branch of a mulberry tree, holding a pair of trousers in her hand. "What are you doing up there, good lady?" "Oh, tell you!" she said to him. "My man died and the priest told me he went to heaven. I'll wait here until he comes back and puts on his trousers."

"Three!" thought the bridegroom. "I seem to have met people who are stupider than my wife. I'd better go home." In this way, he was satisfied, because, as they say, there are always worse things. (Rome area)
