Unit Eleven
Story on the Lawn
At 40°latitude, 110°longitude there was a large area of luxuriant lawn. A river meandered through the grassland, manuring it with fresh water. A liberal girl lived there, whose merits was her matchless beauty and irreproachable ken. Her hair was lithe and her eyes limpid. Every morning she would wear her laurel and lash her sheep onto the lawn. The mediocre life elapsed in lull for many, many years.
One day an itinerant nobleman came to the lawn. He was authorized by an irrevocable legislation to levy the place. He had malady in his leg and had to limp all the time, and all people jeered at his jolting languid muscle when he came. Some children’s malicious mimicry to his walking manner greatly irritated him.
As he saw the girl, his eyes were filled with luster and his lust arose: “Aha, a menial meek girl with fine malleable skin! She reminds me of my newly-marital life.”
Full of malice, he kindled a cigar and accosted the girl: “You’re such a methodical girl with manifold talents. I’ve learned of a maxim saying that, phoenix cannot reside on a small tree, and I can liberate you from the leash of husbandry. You should lease your sheep to others and go with me to the maritime capital city whose prosperity is lauded by all.”
The girl was not at all irresolute. She replied in listless tone: “Look at the irreverent smile on your face and the ugly ledge on your leg. By meticulous observation, I loathe you. Your maneuver cannot jumble my mind and languish my alert.”
“Maligning!” shouted the nobleman.
After some liaison, many lusty malcontents came to the girl and drove the nobleman away.
