Loaves of Bread
A merchant with a taste for fine foods sends a servant to buy bread, and is so delighted with the loaf that he brings back that he requests the same bread every day. Every day the servant buys a loaf from the same vendor woman, until one day she no longer is selling the bread. The merchant asks for the woman to be brought before him to explain her recipe. She arrives, and explains that her master was sick with a malignant ulcer, and that the doctor mixed flour with honeyed wine, spices, and sugar, and to use it as a plaster on the wound overnight. In the morning, she would take the plaster, bake it into bread and sell it. However, her master was now cured, so there was no more bread to be made. The merchant, hearing this, is nauseated and ill.
