Characters in Order of Appearance
- Narrator
- Shoemaker
- Merchant
- Judge
- Carla
- Narrator: In the Sicilian city of Palermo, Italy, there once lived a poor shoemaker and his young daughter, Carla. The shoemaker worked with great skill creating fine leather shoes and sandals, which he sold at a nearby market. Carla helped in the shop by polishing the finely crafted shoes until they shone. One day the shoemaker loaded his wagon with goods and hitched up his only horse.
- Narrator: he said.
- Narrator: Carla wished her father a speedy return, kissed his cheek for luck, and saw him on his way. The shoemaker took a route that brought him onto a street filled with stores. As he passed by a shoe store, a wealthy merchant called to him,
- Narrator: The shoemaker stopped as the merchant approached.
- Narrator: said the merchant, picking up a pair of leather sandals and admiring them.
- Narrator: Then he looked at the shoemaker with a sly grin.
- Narrator: The shoemaker thought for a moment about how much he would have charged for each pair in the market and named a fair price.
Merchant: It’s a deal!
- Narrator: said the merchant firmly and handed the shoemaker the coins. Then the merchant climbed onto the wagon, seated himself next to the shoemaker, and told him to step down and be on his way.
- Narrator: protested the shoemaker.
Shoemaker: Well, yes… but…
Merchant: I take you at your word. Everything includes your wagon and your horse. After all, a deal’s a deal! If you wish to dispute my claim, we’ll go before the judge. There’s one just down the street!
- Narrator: In shock, the shoemaker followed the merchant to the courthouse. When they were before the judge, the merchant explained what had been said, and the judge asked the shoemaker if he had indeed agreed to sell “everything.”
- Narrator: said the shoemaker.
Judge: Then a deal’s a deal.
- Narrator: the judge decreed.
- Narrator: Dejected-without his horse, his wagon, or his pride-the shoemaker walked back home, with the cruel merchant’s laugh ringing in his ears. When he got home, he explained everything to Carla just as it happened.
- Narrator: said Carla, shaking her head.
- Narrator: Early the next day, Carla selected six of the finest pairs of dancing slippers the shoemaker had ever crafted.
- Narrator: Carla said. Her father, seeing the determination in his daughter’s eyes, consented. Carla loaded the beautiful shoes in a wheelbarrow and was on her way. She stopped to wipe her brow when she was in front of the wealthy merchant’s shop, and in a flash the merchant came running out.
- Narrator: he purred, as he approached.
Carla: That would be very nice indeed.
- Narrator: smiled Carla. The merchant looked in the wheelbarrow and studied the dancing slippers.
- Narrator: he grinned broadly, thinking he would make another good deal for himself.
- Narrator: replied Carla. The merchant reached into his pocket then held out three copper pieces.
Carla: Everything in your hand?
- Narrator: Carla asked.
Carla: Then it’s a deal!
- Narrator: said Carla firmly and held out her hand for payment. The merchant grinned slyly and slid the coins into it.
- Narrator: said Carla with her hand still extended.
- Narrator: The merchant was taken aback.
- Narrator: he bellowed.
- Narrator: said Carla.
- Narrator: Now the merchant was fuming, for he was a man prone to displaying his wealth, and on that hand he had three very valuable rings that glittered in the sunlight: a diamond, a star sapphire, and a ruby. They were among his favorite possessions.
- Narrator: Carla continued.
- Narrator: And so they did. The judge listened patiently as Carla explained what had been said. The judge asked the merchant if he had indeed agreed to pay “everything in his hand.”
- Narrator: the merchant stammered.
- Narrator: the judge decreed.
- Narrator: Reluctantly, the merchant slipped the beautiful rings from his fingers and handed them to Carla. Carla put two of them in her pocket and held out the ruby ring.
- Narrator: she said.
Merchant: Why yes, it does, Signorina.
- Narrator: said the merchant sheepishly.
- Narrator: said Carla with a broad smile. The merchant, realizing he had been tricked by his own brand of trickery, agreed. And so Carla returned home to her proud, grateful father with their horse and wagon, three copper pieces, and the two precious rings as a bonus. Even today the people of Palermo tell of how the clever Carla outsmarted the greedy merchant.
