the words are not coherent to the story might be due to the translation from Italian. Still worth reading as it is so short you won't regret the little time it will waste.

A short fairy tale written in a classic style, reminiscing those written long time ago. Finding such story was quite pleasant as I thought this art was lost! I'm forgiving some styles in the prose that might seem a bit odd since I'm guessing its some sort of translation error. Beautiful short and meaningful! A fresh air in a world of re-tellings and "empowerment" tales. A story that teaches but not preaches!
