Le Fur Penitente
Un Puero qui era inseniate per su Matre a furar, se cresceva esser un
viro, e era un official public professional. Un die ille era attappate
in le acto e condemnate a morir. Como ille vadeva al loco de execution,
ille passava su Matre e diceva a illa:
"Ecce tu obra! Si tu non me inseniava a furar, io non venirea a isto."
"Ja?" diceva le Matre. "E qui, prece, te inseniava esser discoperite?"

The Penitent Thief
A Boy who had been taught by his Mother to steal grew to be a man and
was a professional public official. One day he was taken in the act and
condemned to die. While going to the place of execution he passed his
Mother and said to her:
"Behold your work! If you had not taught me to steal, I should not have
come to this."
"Indeed!" said the Mother. "And who, pray, taught you to be detected?"
