The two stepchildren
Variant of “Li tridici sbannuti”
A shoemaker had two daughters: Margherita and Teresa. Passed to a second marriage, they left the paternal home to escape the torture of the godmother: Captain in a palace of 13 thieves; who competed to enjoy them. The girls allotted them with crackers, and taking all their silver, they fled. They went to a town and built a palace where they shut themselves up with large provisions to live on. The thieves came, and scaled the palace, but there
they lost their lives, killed by the sisters who knew them through fake noses. The chief thief remained alive, but he too was killed when one night, having prepared a cauldron of boiling oil, he approached one of the sisters to kill her. (For this last circumstance, see you the Magician Tartagna)
