Unit Fourteen The L***d and the Hermit
Once upon a ti*** there was a rapacious l***d. He was relentless *** his tenants and quell*** them by plac***g quotas *** their ******ng ***ndition. Soon he ***llect*** quantitatively great revenue and ***v*** *** a radiate palace. He was also renow***d f*** his queer clothes.
O*** day the l***d’s disease relaps***, so he ral****** his sub***d***ates f*** help. O*** of them said: “I’ve heard of a recluse who knows regi***n well resid***g ***arby. Why not ****** his residence f*** help?” Another re***rt***: “Be prudent, maybe it is o***y a rum***.” But the rash l***d was fill*** with rapture and ratifi*** the *********g plan.
On the ***xt Sunday, the l***d purg*** himself, held a qua***t rite and start*** f*** the hermit’s ho***. They pass*** rugg*** rust*** passages full of paddles and the l***d almost re***il***. F***ally they arriv***. The l***d fe*** disappo***t*** at the recluse’s reception, but he wouldn’t re***nquish the chance and talk*** *** the hermit with reverence.
The hermit rum***at*** and revert*** *** the ma*** ***p*** *** a pungent vo***e: “I’ve heard lots of your r**enous de***s. You retract the land you’ve distribut*** *** the far***rs and ***der them *** r***eem their land. You must r***ress your gui*** and rehabi***tate their fre***om. Reimburse their respective debts and build refuge f*** them. You can reta*** the residue of your property.”
The l***d was reluctant *** renounce his wea***h and be rent from his palace. He rebuk***: “Your ad***ce is ***o reckless. I’m resolute not *** a***ept it.”
“Why so repulsive? You cannot repudiate my w***ds.” The hermit reiterat*** his suggestion and its resonance echo***. “Remit their taxes with rebates, *** a riot is imm***ent.”
The l***d aga*** refut***. At last he went back *** rem***se.
