the tale of the portress

the portress (it's like a charwoman but she inherited money so...) asked her husband if she can go to the market. he agreed. at the market a seller did not want to sell his merchandise for money but instead asked for a kiss. but he tricked her and he bit her instead. when her husband found out, he beat her and she went to her sister's house.

here's the full story of this tale. don't try to understand it, you'll go insane. https://1000into1night.wordpress.com/2-the-porter-and-the-three-ladies-of-baghdad/2e-the-tale-of-the-portress/

Doesn't seem fair. Thanks for the giggle though! :)

So... would it have been better if he kissed her? And what about social distancing?

[summerfield]

@northy - i think DD and i have enough space between us. he's in italy after all and i'm here in toronto. photoshop is safe enough. :-D

@juliedduncan - it's a silly, silly story. if i was the sultan, i'd have the storyteller fed to the tigers for confusing my already addled mind!

Great expressions! @northy lol!

Ha! I'm confused... Nice work you two! @summerfield @domenicododaro

[Domenico Dodaro]

Lol, yes some of the tales in the Arabian nights are really confusing! And I’m not only trying to bite you, but to swallow you whole! @summerfield
