Mood:  don't ask

Fable no. 1

Once upon a time there was a couple (for those who do not understand the meaning of a couple - a husband and wife).

They loved each other dearly and were loved by all the neighbourhoud.

Unfortunately to them, the woman was very very beautiful.

One day a chief army inspector (we shall call him this way because I do not really know the hierarchy of the army, obviously my mother would have given a very nice name, but unfortunately she is not around these days, therefore this name must do), as I was saying, a chief army inspector met her and fell madly in love with her.

From that day he had no peace, so he decided to approach the woman and declare his love.  The woman told him that she was very much in love with her husband and she would never love anybody else but him.

The chief army inspector wasn`t able to take a "no" for an answer, so he decided to plan a way of getting her.  

Although the couple were of the utmost honesty and seriousness, he  found a way of imprison her husband and charge him with a death sentence.  

The woman was stunned and petrified for what had happened.  She didn`t know who to turn to in search of help, so she decided to go and see the chief army inspector.  

He tried to lure her into his bed but to no avail.  The woman was firm about her loyalthy towards her husband.  As she was going out, he stopped her and said "I know that you do not want me, however if you sleep with me tonight, tomorrow your husband will be free. Only one night, I know and I accept that you do not want me."  

The woman went to see her husband.  She told him what the chief army inspector asked.  Her husband replied "Save your love.  Tomorrow I will be killed anyway."

The woman made her decision.  She decided to sleep with the chief army inspector and save her husband.

In the morning she heard noise outside.  It seemed noise of soldiers marching.  She approached the window and saw a plotoon of soldiers who were taking her husband to be decapited.  

She asked and pleaded the chief army inspector.  But he said "Your husband will die today, my dear."   

So the woman lost her husband and her honour and self respect.
