Summary: Franz and Morcef, while at the inn, hear a story from the inn keeper. It is one of a criminal named Vampa, but Franz and Morcef are skeptcal. The inn keeper begins on a tale of Vampa's origins in order to convince them: Vampa was a shepherd who fell in love with a shepherdess named Teresa, and, due to odd circumstances, harbored a criminal named Cucumetto despite there being a bounty on the man's head. Later, there was party and Teresa desired a costume of one of the patrons, so Vampa burned down their house and took it in the panic. After this, a man named Sinbad the Sailor asked him for directions and, when he gave it to him, was re-payed with 2 small jewels. When he arrived to bring Teresa her costume, he found her being kidnapped, so Vampa killed the man, only later realizing that it was Cucumetto. So, donning Cucumetto's clothes, he demands to be made leader of what were once Cucumetto's bandit's.
Reflection: As the reader it is always interesting to learn something about a character when the people that are hearing it don't discern it's meaning. Knowing more than the characters in a book is quite interesting.
