October 2018 1 13 Report

That morning, Griselda finished her work early because she wanted to see Walter's new wife. She thought,' I'll stand with the other girls and watch Sir Walter with his beautiful lady. But first I must help my dear father to sit in the sun.'

She opened the door of the little house from inside — and there was Walter! He was standing outside in his rich clothes, like a king.

' Griselda,' he said,' where's your father?'

The old man came slowly out of the house and Walter took his hand.

'Janicula, I must tell you what's in my heart. I love your daughter, Griselda. I want to marry her if you'll agree.'

The old man was too surprised to speak at first. After some minutes he answered,' Yes, sir, of course. If Griselda agrees, she can be your wife.'

' I'd like to speak to her in your house, please,' Walter said quietly. ' I'll ask her to be my wife. But she must promise me something. She must always do what I ask.'

The people outside waited. They couldn't understand what was happening!

Inside the house, Walter spoke softly to Griselda.

' My dear Griselda, your father says that we can get married. Please take me as your husband. But first I must ask you this. Will you promise to do what I tell you — always ?'

'My lord,' Griselda answered,' I'll marry you if I can look after my father in my new life. And I'll always do everything you tell me to do.'

' Thank you, my dear Griselda,' said Walter.

He asked some of the ladies to come inside and dress Griselda in beautiful clothes. Then he kissed her hand and took her outside.

' This is my new wife, everybody,' he said proudly.

When Griselda came out of the house, the people cried out, ' She's the most beautiful girl we've ever seen!'

Walter was very happy. They were married that day and there was music and dancing all night.

For a long time all Walter's people lived happily. Griselda helped poor and sick people and everyone loved her. People said,' Our great lord did a wise thing when he married Griselda.'

Then Walter and Griselda had a little girl and everyone said,' One day this little girl will be as kind and as beautiful as her mother.'

But from that time things started to go very wrong.

Every day Walter watched his wife with her baby and thought, ' My wife will change now because she's got a child. If I ask her to do something difficult for me, she won't do it.'

Then Walter did something very bad. He came to see Griselda one day with a hard look on his face.

' Griselda, when I married you, my people were unhappy,' he lied. 'You were a poor man's daughter. Now you've got a child, and it's even worse for them. I'm going to ask someone to take this child away from you. You must give her to him. Remember your words on your wedding day!'

Griselda was very sad, but she said,' My child is yours, my lord. You can do what you want with her.'

Walter was happy when he heard this. He quickly sent a man to take the child away. When Griselda saw the man, she said quietly,' I must kiss my daughter before she goes.'

Then she took her child in her arms and said, ' Goodbye, my dear daughter. I'll never see you again but God will look after you.'

Then the man took Griselda' s daughter away.

'Please put her little body in the ground,' she called out to him.' Then it will be safe from all the animals and birds.'

The man carried the child to Walter.' Take her to my sister in Bologna,' he said.' Tell her to look after her well. But don't tell her that she's my child.'

The Friar's TaleThe Summoner and the DevilThere was a summoner and a friar on the pilgrimage to Canterbury.Summoners found people who did bad things.

He asked people for money for the church.The summoner and friar on the pilgrimage were not friends.The friar said to the pilgrims,' I'm going to tell you a story about summoners.'Then the summoner said, 'And I'm going to tell you a story about friars.''Well, I'm going to tell my story first,' said the friar.So the friar began.●There was an important man in the church who was very bad. He only wanted people's money. A summoner worked for this man. He watched people quietly. Then he caught them when they did bad things. 'You must leave the church,' he told them. 'But if you give me a lot of money, you can come into the church again.'●One day, the summoner was on his way to see an old woman. He thought that she was a bad woman. He wanted her to give him money.On the way he met a man. The man was wearing bright red clothes and riding a brown horse.' Where are you riding to ?' asked the man. Nobody liked the summoner, so he lied.'I'm just going to get some money from an old woman. She has to pay the money to my lord.'' Oh, so you're a bailiff,' said the man.A bailiff is a man who looks after land for rich lords. He takes money from the farmers who use the land.' Yes, that's right,' answered the summoner.' I'm a bailiff.' ' I've got a farm which I look after for a lord,' said the man. ' Oh, that's interesting,' said the summoner.' Tell me, how do you get your money from people ?'' I get it in many different ways,' said the man.' I like having a lot of money, but my lord doesn't pay me much.'' I've got my ways too,' said the summoner.' I don't mind if people are frightened of me or unhappy. I think we're the same, you and I.What's your name?'The man's answer gave the summoner a surprise. ' I'll tell you who I am. I'm a devil, and I live in hell!' he said. ' Oh, I thought you were an ordinary man like me,' said the summoner.' You look like a man.'' Devils can look like anything they want to,' laughed the devil. ' There are good reasons for this. Now, let's continue our journey.'●So the man and the devil rode along the road. After a short time, they saw a man with some horses. He was hitting the horses and shouting at them.' The devil can take you, you lazy animals!' he cried.'Did you hear that?' the summoner asked the devil. 'Go and take his horses. He says that the devil can take them!''You can't believe everything you hear,' answered the devil. 'Wait. Let's see what happens.'After a few minutes the tired horses started to walk a little faster.' Good horses!' shouted their owner.' Good Brock! Good old Scottie! God will save you all!'' What did I tell you ?' said the devil.' He said one thing but he meant another thing. There's nothing for me here. Let's continue.'●When the town was far behind them, the summoner said to the devil,' You didn't do very well with the man and his horses, did you? Now I'm going to get some money from this poor old woman. Watch carefully! You can see how I do it.'He went to the old woman's door.' Come out!' he shouted. ' I'm sure you're doing something bad in there!''Who's that?' cried the old woman, coming quickly out of her house.When she saw the summoner, she looked very frightened. ' Oh, it's you, sir,' she said.' People are saying some very bad things about you,' said the summoner in a serious voice.' If they're true, you'll have to go to the church. You'll have to pay them a lot of money.'When she heard this, the old woman began to cry.' Oh, sir, please be kind to me,' she said.' I'm ill and I can't get to church. Can I pay you the money ?'' Yes, but you must pay me now,' answered the summoner.' It will cost you twelve pennies. Quickly!'' Twelve pennies!' cried the old woman.' Oh, God help me! I haven't got twelve pennies! What can I do ?'' Give me your money!' shouted the summoner angrily.' But I haven't done anything bad,' said the poor woman.'Give me your money or I'll take your cooking pot. You were with a man who isn't your husband. You know you were!''No, I always loved my husband,' cried the old woman. 'I hope the blackest devil in hell carries you away! And the cooking pot too!'Then the devil spoke to the old woman.' Do you really mean what you're saying, madam ?'' Yes I do!' she answered. ' The devil can carry him away — clothes, cooking pot, everything.'The summoner was still shouting at her. He was very angry.' What ? Will I get no money from this stupid old woman ?''Why are you so angry?' asked the devil. 'You and the cooking pot are mine now. She gave you to me. Tonight you'll be in hell with me. You can learn about devils there and about how we do our work!'Suddenly the devil jumped on the summoner and caught him. Then he carried him down to hell. There's a place for summoners in hell, and it's always very full!●The friar finished his story and looked at all the pilgrims.'Think hard about my story,' he said. 'We must hope that God will keep us from the devil!'Then the summoner told his story about the friar. But it wasn't a very interesting story so I haven't put it in this book.Proszę o przetłumaczenie na polski. Bez translatora!
