1 UNBREAKABLE GLASS Once there was a craftsman, by the name of Corinthus, who had made a glass bowl which couldn t be broken. He therefore wanted to give it to the king. He happily ran to the king, holding the gift in his hand, because he was pretending that he was handing it to him. Suddenly however he hurled the bowl onto the ground. The king was shocked. But after the craftsman picked up the bowl, the king realized that it was dented like a bronze dish. The craftsman took his little hammer from his clothing and violently beat the bowl so that it became whole again. After doing this, he was hoping that he would receive great riches from the king. Then the king asked him, Who else knows how to make such a bowl? The craftsman said that no-one knew this. The king therefore commanded him to be put to death in case glass bowls should become more valuable than gold. Olim erat faber, Corinthus nomine, qui fecerat vitream phialam quae non poterat frangi. Voluit igitur dare eam regi. Laetus cucurrit ad regem tenens manu donum quod simulabat se tradere ei. Subito tamen conjecit phialam in terram. Rex perterritus est. Autem postquam faber sustulit phialam, rex intellexit eam collisam esse sicut aeneum vas. Faber cepit martiolum e vestimento et vehementer pulsavit phialam ut fieret integra iterum. Hoc facto, sperabat se accepturum esse magnas divitias a rege. Tum rex rogavit eum, Quis alius scit facere talem phialam? Faber negavit quemquam scire hoc. Rex igitur jussit illum interfici ne phialae vitreae fierent pretiosiores quam aurum.
