Reading Notes: Italian Popular Tales, Part B

Italian Popular Tales By Thomas Crane

Part B of Crane's Italian Popular Tales contained many stories that I have not heard of or read before. A story that really caught my eye was An Incident in Rome.

This is the only element of the story I did not like as I wish there was a definitive answer as to what had occurred.

Assuming it was comparable to the fish they usually catch, they decided to keep it and the wife began to clean it as she normally does. After it was hanging with the other fish, the woman walked to the end of the pier where she bent down to clean her hands from the remains of the strange fish. Just then, she was pulled underwater by an unknown force. Her husband immediately jumped in the water after her and found the Fish Chief to ask for help. He said that he had seen it happen and that the killer whales took her as a slave as revenge for catching and killing their friend. Deep in the ocean was the killer whales’ home. It was here that they took the woman to be their servant. For the next three days, she waited on the w
