Enjoy your reaing time. Happy reading
The Don is seen playing a harp until shuu shrewed appears kneeling to him.
"Don , please I have come to you with pureness of heart to request for your help. 5000 of my oxens were stolen from my farms yesterday. My wife lays in labour and I have no penny to pay for her delievery. She lays there in the inn without any attention administered to her because we are unable to deposit 20 shikels of silver. My Lord spare me this once and attend to my needs. We are just recovering from the famine that lasted for 24 months.".
Immediately he finished speaking three well able bodied armed men appear with their swords to lock shuu shrewed in prison not until the Don intervened. "Let him go" He said looking appeased with his men. He dropped his harp and looked closely at shuu shrewed.
"I am a merciful man, I help but you give in return you asked for 20 shikels of silver but I want to give you 100 shikels of silver". Immediately shuu shrewed became amused and the Don made a fearful roaring laughter again then he continued
"If I am to give you this what I'm I going to get in return". He laughed again. "I love to help the poor and give them their justice but you must give me something in return". He said as he dropped his flute and looked at shuu shrewed. With fear shuu shrewed spoke up.
"If my wife gives birth to a boy he will be your servant and work for you till death but if my wife bears a girl child she will be bethroted to you".
"Ha...... ha......ha....ha what a perfect bargain. Such a wonderful man. I'm happy with the word bethrotal. For that I'm going to increase it to 200 shikels of silver". The Don said.
"Thank you Don I'm grateful" Shuu shrewed moved out happily but calmly. Shuu shrewed was happy with the way things went between him and the Don.
