C\u00e2nd, tocmai, la vreme de b\u0103tr\u00e2ne\u0163e, iat\u0103 c\u0103 se \u00eendur\u0103 norocul \u015fi cu d\u00e2nsul \u015fi dob\u00e2ndi un drag de copila\u015f, de s\u0103-l vezi \u015fi s\u0103 nu-l mai ui\u0163i. \u00cemp\u0103ratul \u00eei puse numele Aleodor. C\u00e2nd fu a-l boteza, \u00eemp\u0103ratul adun\u0103 R\u0103s\u0103rit \u015fi Apus, Miaz\u0103zi \u015fi Miaz\u0103noapte, ca s\u0103 se veseleasc\u0103 de veselia lui. Trei zile \u015fi trei nop\u0163i \u0163inur\u0103 petrecerile \u015fi se chefuir\u0103 \u015fi se bucurar\u0103, de o \u0163inur\u0103 minte c\u00e2t tr\u0103ir\u0103.<\/p>\n
B\u0103iatul de ce cre\u015ftea, d-aia se f\u0103cea mai iste\u0163 \u015fi mai iscusit. Nu mai trecu mult \u015fi iat\u0103 c\u0103 \u00eemp\u0103ratul ajunse la marginea groapei. C\u00e2nd fu la ceasul mor\u0163ii, el lu\u0103 copilul pe genunchi \u015fi-i zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Dragul tatei, iat\u0103 c\u0103 Dumnezeu m\u0103 cheam\u0103. Sunt \u00een clipa de a-mi da ob\u015ftescul sf\u00e2r\u015fit. Eu v\u0103z c\u0103 tu ai s\u0103 ajungi om mare. \u015ei chiar mort, oasele mele se vor bucura \u00een morm\u00e2nt de ispr\u0103vile tale. Asupra c\u00e2rmuirei \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163iei n-am nimic s\u0103-\u0163i zic, fiindc\u0103 tu, cu iscusin\u0163a ta, \u015ftiu c\u0103 ai s-o duci bine. Un lucru numai am s\u0103-\u0163i spui: Vezi tu muntele acela de colo, s\u0103 nu te duc\u0103 p\u0103catele s\u0103 v\u00e2nezi p-acolo, c\u0103 este nevoie de cap. Acel munte este mo\u015fia lui Jum\u0103tate-de-om-c\u0103lare-pe-jum\u0103tate-de-iepure-\u015fchiop: \u015fi cine calc\u0103 pe mo\u015fia lui, nu scap\u0103 nepedepsit.<\/p>\n
Acestea zic\u00e2nd, c\u0103sc\u0103 gura de trei ori \u015fi-\u015fi dete sufletul. Se duse \u015fi el ca toat\u0103 suflarea de pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt, de pare c\u0103 n-a fost de c\u00e2nd lumea \u015fi p\u0103m\u00e2ntul.<\/p>\n

Aleodor, dup\u0103 ce se urc\u0103 \u00een scaunul t\u0103t\u00e2ne-s\u0103u, de\u015fi copilandru, puse \u0163ara la cale ca \u015fi un om matur. Toat\u0103 lumea era mul\u0163umit\u0103 de domnirea sa, \u015fi oamenii se f\u0103leau c\u0103 le-a fost dat de sus ca s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 \u00een zilele lui.<\/p>\n
Adesea ie\u015fea Aleodor la v\u00e2n\u0103toare ca s\u0103-\u015fi petreac\u0103 ceasurile ce-i prisosea de la trebile \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163iei. El \u0163inea minte ce-i spusese t\u0103t\u00e2ne-s\u0103u \u015fi se silea s\u0103-i p\u0103zeasc\u0103 cuvintele cu sfin\u0163enie.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, nu \u015ftiu cum f\u0103cu, dus fiind pe g\u00e2nduri, \u015fi alunec\u0103 de c\u0103lc\u0103 pe p\u0103m\u00e2ntul pocitului de om. N-apuc\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 zece, dou\u0103zeci de pa\u015fi, \u015fi iat\u0103 c\u0103 se pomeni cu d\u00e2nsul dinaintea lui.<\/p>\n
Acum nu-i era lui pentru c\u0103 trecuse pe p\u0103m\u00e2ntul omului celui slut \u015fi sc\u00e2rbos, ci \u00eei era ciud\u0103 cum de s\u0103 calce vorba tat\u0103lui s\u0103u ce-i spusese cu grai de moarte.<\/p>\n
Pocitania p\u0103m\u00e2ntului \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 To\u0163i nelegiui\u0163ii ce-mi calc\u0103 hotarul cad \u00een robia mea.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mai \u00eent\u00e2i trebuie s\u0103 \u015ftii, \u00eei r\u0103spunse Aleodor, c\u0103 din neb\u0103gare de seam\u0103 \u015fi f\u0103r\u0103 de voia mea am c\u0103lcat pe coprinsul t\u0103u, \u015fi n-am nici un g\u00e2nd r\u0103u asupr\u0103-\u0163i.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Eu te socoteam mai altfel; dar\u0103 v\u0103z c\u0103 ai de g\u00e2nd s\u0103-\u0163i ceri iert\u0103ciune de la mine ca to\u0163i frico\u015fii.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ba s\u0103 m\u0103 fereasc\u0103 Dumnezeu! Eu \u0163i-am spus curatul adev\u0103r, \u015fi dac\u0103 vrei lupt\u0103, alege-\u0163i: \u00een s\u0103bii s\u0103 ne t\u0103iem, \u00een buzdugane s\u0103 ne lovim, ori \u00een lupt\u0103 s\u0103 ne lupt\u0103m.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Nici una, nici alta. Ci, ca s\u0103 scapi de pedeaps\u0103 alt chip nu e, dec\u00e2t s\u0103 te duci s\u0103-mi aduci pe fata lui Verde\u015f \u00eemp\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Aleodor voi s\u0103 se codeasc\u0103 oarecum, ba c\u0103 trebile \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163iei nu-l iart\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 o c\u0103l\u0103torie a\u015fa de lung\u0103, ba c\u0103 n-are c\u0103l\u0103uz, ba c\u0103 una, ba c\u0103 alta; dar\u0103 a\u015fi! unde vrea s\u0103 \u015ftie pocitul de toate astea! El o \u0163inea una, s\u0103-i aduc\u0103 pe fata lui Verde\u015f \u00eemp\u0103rat, dac\u0103 vrea s\u0103 scape de ponosul de t\u00e2lhar, de c\u0103lc\u0103tor de drepturile altuia, \u015fi s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2ie cu sufletul \u00een oase.<\/p>\n
Aleodor se \u015ftia vinovat. De\u015fi f\u0103r\u0103 voia lui, dar\u0103 \u015ftia c\u0103 a f\u0103cut un p\u0103cat de a c\u0103lcat pe mo\u015fia slutului. Mai \u015ftia iar\u0103 c\u0103 de omul dracului, s\u0103 dai \u015fi s\u0103 scapi. S\u0103 n-ai nici \u00een clin, nici \u00een m\u00e2nec\u0103 cu d\u00e2nsul. F\u0103g\u0103dui \u00een cele din urm\u0103 s\u0103-i fac\u0103 slujba cu care-l \u00eens\u0103rcina.<\/p>\n
Jum\u0103tate-de-om-c\u0103lare-pe-jum\u0103tate-de-iepure-\u015fchiop \u015ftia c\u0103, deoarece Aleodor i-a f\u0103g\u0103duit, apoi are s\u0103-\u015fi \u0163ie cuv\u00e2ntul, ca unul ce era om de omenie, \u015fi-i zise:<\/p>\n

Aleodor plec\u0103. \u015ei cum mergea el g\u00e2ndindu-se \u015fi r\u0103zg\u00e2ndindu-se cum s\u0103-\u015fi \u00eemplineasc\u0103 sarcina mai bine, c\u0103ci \u00ee\u015fi d\u0103duse cuv\u00e2ntul, se pomeni pe marginea unui ele\u015fteu \u015fi o \u015ftiuc\u0103 se zb\u0103tea de moarte pe uscat.<\/p>\n
Cum o v\u0103zu, el se duse s\u0103 o ia s\u0103-\u015fi aline foamea cu d\u00e2nsa.<\/p>\n
\u015etiuca \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n

Aleodor o ascult\u0103 \u015fi o dete \u00een ap\u0103. Atunci \u015ftiuca \u00eei mai zise:<\/p>\n

Fl\u0103c\u0103ul plec\u0103 mai \u00eenainte \u015fi se tot mira de o astfel de \u00eent\u00e2mplare.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd, iac\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2lne\u015fte cu un corb ce avea o arip\u0103 rupt\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u015ei voind s\u0103 v\u00e2neze corbul, el \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 F\u0103t-Frumos, F\u0103t-Frumos, dec\u00e2t s\u0103-\u0163i \u00eencarci sufletul cu mine, mai bine ai face s\u0103-mi legi aripa, ca mult bine \u0163i-oi prinde.<\/p>\n
Aleodor \u00eel ascult\u0103, c\u0103ci era b\u0103iat viteaz \u015fi de treab\u0103, \u015fi \u00eei leg\u0103 aripa. C\u00e2nd era s\u0103 plece, corbul \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n

Auzind Aleodor unele ca acestea, \u015fi c\u0103 \u00eei zise \u015fi pre nume, odat\u0103 ridic\u0103 piciorul \u015fi l\u0103s\u0103 pe t\u0103une s\u0103 se duc\u0103 \u00een voia lui.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Bine, b\u0103iete. Dar\u0103 mai \u00eent\u00e2i trebuie s\u0103 facem leg\u0103tur\u0103, c\u0103ci a\u015fa este obiceiul la curtea mea. Ai voie s\u0103 te ascunzi unde vei voi, \u00een trei zile d-a r\u00e2ndul.

C\u00e2nd, c\u0103tre n\u0103miezi, ce-i veni ei, se uit\u0103 \u015fi \u00een sus. \u015ei z\u0103rindu-l \u00een slava cerului printre stolul de corbi, \u00eencepu a-i face cu degetul, \u015fi-i zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ghidi, ghidi, t\u00e2lharule ce e\u015fti! D\u0103-te jos d-acolo, omule, ce mi te-ai f\u0103cut a\u015fa pitcoace de pas\u0103re? Nici \u00een rai nu scapi de mine!<\/p>\n
Se dete jos, c\u0103 n-avea ce face. \u00cemp\u0103ratul \u00eencepu a se minuna \u015fi el de iste\u0163imea lui Aleodor \u015fi-\u015fi plec\u0103 urechea la rug\u0103ciunea fiicei sale.<\/p>\n
\u00cens\u0103, fiindc\u0103 leg\u0103tura era ca s\u0103 se ascunz\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 de trei ori, \u00eemp\u0103ratul zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 D-a minune, ia s\u0103 vedem unde are s\u0103 se mai ascunz\u0103?!<\/p>\n
A treia zi, dis-de-diminea\u0163\u0103, se g\u00e2ndi la t\u0103une. Acesta veni \u00eentr-un suflet. Dup\u0103 ce \u00eei spuse ce voie\u015fte, t\u0103unele zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Las\u0103 pe mine, \u015fi de te-oi g\u0103si, eu aici sunt.<\/p>\n
\u00cel f\u0103cu o lindin\u0103 \u015fi-l ascunse chiar \u00een coada fetei, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 sim\u0163\u0103 ea.<\/p>\n
Scul\u00e2ndu-se fata \u015fi lu\u00e2nd ocheanul, \u00eel c\u0103ut\u0103 toat\u0103 ziua, \u015fi, ca s\u0103 dea de d\u00e2nsul, nici c\u00e2t. Ea se da de ceasul mor\u0163ii, c\u0103ci \u00eel sim\u0163ea, i se ar\u0103ta ei a fi p-aci prin preajm\u0103, dar\u0103 de v\u0103zut nu-l vedea. C\u0103t\u0103 cu ocheanul prin mare, pre p\u0103m\u00e2nt, prin v\u0103zduh, dar\u0103 nu-l v\u0103zu nic\u0103ieri. C\u0103tre sear\u0103, obosit\u0103 de at\u00e2ta c\u0103utare, strig\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ci ia arat\u0103-te odat\u0103. Te simt c\u0103 e\u015fti p-aci pe-aproape, dar\u0103 nu te v\u0103z. Tu m-ai biruit, a ta s\u0103 fiu.<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 auzi el c\u0103 este biruit\u0103, se dete bini\u015for jos din coada ei \u015fi se ar\u0103t\u0103. \u00cemp\u0103ratul n-avu nici el ce mai zice, \u015fi \u00eei dete fata. C\u00e2nd plecar\u0103, \u00eei petrecu cu mare cinste \u015fi alai, p\u00e2n\u0103 afar\u0103 din \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163ia lui.<\/p>\n
Pe drum, ei st\u0103tur\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 popas. \u015ei dup\u0103 ce \u00eembucar\u0103 c\u00e2te ceva, el puse capul \u00een poala ei \u015fi adormi. Fata de \u00eemp\u0103rat, tot uit\u00e2ndu-se la el, i se scurgea ochii dup\u0103 frumuse\u0163ea \u015fi dup\u0103 boiul lui. Inima \u00eei dete br\u00e2nci \u015fi ea nu se putu opri, ci \u00eel s\u0103rut\u0103. Aleodor, cum se de\u015ftept\u0103, \u00eei trase o palm\u0103 de auzi c\u00e2inii \u00een Giurgiu. Ea pl\u00e2nse \u015fi \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 I! Aleodor drag\u0103, dar\u0103 grea palm\u0103 mai ai!<\/p>\n
\u2013 Te-am p\u0103lmuit pentru fapta ce ai f\u0103cut; c\u0103ci eu nu te-am luat pentru mine, ci pentru cela ce m-a tr\u0103mis pe mine.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Apoi bine, fr\u0103\u0163ioare, de ce nu mi-ai spus a\u015fa de acas\u0103; c\u0103ci atunci \u015ftiam \u015fi eu ce s\u0103 fac; dar\u0103 las\u0103, nici acum nu e timpul trecut.<\/p>\n
Pornind \u015fi de aici, ajunser\u0103 cu s\u0103n\u0103tate la Jum\u0103tate-de-om-c\u0103lare-pe-jum\u0103tate-de-iepure-\u015fchiop.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Iat\u0103, m-am \u00eenchinat cu slujba, zise Aleodor, \u015fi voi s\u0103 plece.<\/p>\n
Fata, c\u00e2nd v\u0103zu pe acea iazm\u0103, se cutremur\u0103 de sc\u00e2rb\u0103 \u015fi nu voia s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2ie la d\u00e2nsul o dat\u0103 cu capul.<\/p>\n
Slutul se dete pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 fat\u0103 \u015fi \u00eencepu s-o lingu\u015feasc\u0103 cu vorbe mierloitoare \u015fi s\u0103 se ia cu binele pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 d\u00e2nsa.<\/p>\n
Dar\u0103 fata \u00eei zise:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Piei de dinaintea mea, satano, c\u0103 te trimit la mum\u0103-ta, Iadul, care te-a v\u0103rsat pe fa\u0163a p\u0103m\u00e2ntului.<\/p>\n
Slu\u0163enia de neom se topea de dragostea fetei, se lungea cu burta pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt \u015fi umbla cu \u015fo\u015fele, cu momele s\u0103 \u00eenduplece pre fat\u0103 a-l lua de b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n
Dar\u0103, a\u015fi! feritu-l-a s\u00e2ntule\u0163ul s\u0103 se apropie de d\u00e2nsa! C\u0103ci \u00eel \u0163inea \u0163intuit \u00een loc cu ochii c\u00e2t de colo. Din satan\u0103, din iazm\u0103, \u015fi din spurc\u0103ciune nu-l mai scotea.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Piei, necuratule, de pe fa\u0163a p\u0103m\u00e2ntului, s\u0103 scape lumea de o cium\u0103 \u015fi de o holer\u0103 ca tine.<\/p>\n
Mai st\u0103rui ce mai st\u0103rui, \u015fi dac\u0103 se v\u0103zu \u00eenfruntat p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-at\u00e2t, iazma plesni de necaz, cum de s\u0103 fie el oc\u0103r\u00e2t at\u00e2t de mult de o cutr\u0103 de muiere.<\/p>\n
Atunci Aleodor \u00eentinse coprinsul s\u0103u \u015fi peste mo\u015fia lui Jum\u0103tate-de-om-c\u0103lare-pe-jum\u0103tate-de-iepure-\u015fchiop, lu\u0103 de so\u0163ie pe fata lui Verde\u015f \u00eemp\u0103rat \u015fi se \u00eentoarse la \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163ia lui.<\/p>\n
