Calandrino and the pig Today I would writa about different story from "Decameron" by Giovanni Bocaccio. The story name is "Calandrino and the pig". This story has a specific humour as the last story. All the main characters are the same: Сalandrino and two his freinds. Calandrino had an estate which he had get as a dowry of his wife. His piasants brought him some products as a rent every summer. Every summer his wife and he went to the estate to make sypplies for winter. Once summer the wife hadn't gone and Calandrino went to the estate alone. His two fiends turned out to live in the same village. They were on a visit to a lawyer. On the next day they came to see Calandrino and he shown them the pig. It was a big one. Calandrino wanted to knife it and then would pickle it. When he had told them it, they protested. They suggested selling the pig and to lie that the pig was stollen. Calandrino refused. We didn't want to lie the wife. He killed the pig. The freinds get sad and decided to make a practical joke on Calandrino. They instigated the lawyedr and made a plan. The day after that they invited Calandrino to a bar and they told him than the lawyer standed a treat.
