　　A lord was in love with one of his wife's servants.But the girl had a lover she was loyal to, so she wouldn't trade her loyalty for the luxuries her master promised.Her master was very jealous of the lucky young man that the girl loved.He accused the young man of being a robber, and said he robbed lorries that passed by.As soon as the young man was arrested, the master locked the girl in a room.Then he came to the room after dark, and grabbed the girl.However, his grip became loose when he found out it was his wife, not the girl.The young man had managed to loosen the loop of ropes around him and escape.He had rescued his girl, packed their luggage and they had run away.The jealous wife of the master was very angry, and kicked him in the head, which caused a big lump.She also stabbed his chest, which caused a hole in his lungs.Then she lumped all their money together and left.Now the master has to lower himself, as he has no money, and has to live life at a lower level, with barely enough string to loop around his few possessions.
