How Malice Was Consumed on the Pyre 51

 *Ha-ha-ha!. the king laughed endlessly at the top of
his voice. KWell, Compare, you shall die by being burned
alive.
 Quickly a funeral pile was built around Malice. The
wood was around him and up over the top of his head. Then
it was set on fire. The flames went up and lighted the whole
sky and the countryside. The fire cracked, and Malice
sizzled. Everyone knew that was the end of Malice.
 After a little while there was nothing but ashes, and the
spectators went home, saying, If anyone sees someone who
looks like Malice it will be just a coincidence.,
 *After all*, some said, there is no law which says that
people can't resemble one another..
 But after all was quiet, and no one was around, Malice
got up, shook the ashes off his back and walked away. Being
a housi canzo he was fireproof.
 *That's the advantage of being a child of yayoute.o
 But just the same he walked away ashamed of having
 been caught. For a long time he was not able to look anyone
 in the face, not even Bouqui; and that was not a bit like the
 bold Malice.
 As for Bouqui, the king rewarded him with the promised
 bag of gold. But later on people said that Bouqui threw the
 gold in the ocean, because gold always carries too much
 evil with it.
