The boy of the shipwright
Variant of CLX – Lu muraturi e sò figghiu
A carpenter's son by dint of cunning manages to deceive and
to evade Justice who is looking for him to punish him for having stolen the royal treasure. You can never know who the thief was, either
The King himself manages to do so, to implement the advice of the wise.
Wherefore he promises to keep his daughter for the one who will reveal himself as the author of
so many tricks that the wise men themselves cannot understand
Cut.
In Ser GIOVANNI FIORENTINO's Pecorone, day. IX, Nov. I: –
«Bindo, the Florentine master, goes to Venice and renovates the bell tower
of S. Marco. Build a palace in the city municipality. After some time he steals a golden cup from you. He returns there and falls into a hot one
ia of boiling pegola. Ricciardo, his son, cuts off his head. AND
exposed the corpse on the gallows. The son himself steals it and buries it. We try in vain to discover the thief with gluttony and lust. Finally the Doge has it announced that the criminal will be pardoned, and the
his daughter for a wife, if he finds out for himself. Ricciardo goes to
doge, tells him everything, and obtains the promised reward."
A Bolognese version very similar to ours is La fola della bella Filadora by CORONEDI-BERTI.
