Ivan The Fool Ch.

Emperor


The peasant also had a daughter, Milania,
born dumb. Simeon went to war, in
service of the Emperor, and Tarras went
to a city to become a merchant

Estate


For his brave actions in battle,
Simeon received an estate as well
as a high rank, and married a
noblemans daughter

Luxury


The reason was that his wife
wasted his fortune on luxuries

One-third


Give me one-third of your
wealth as my rightful share

Demand


For what reason, then, should
you now demand the third
part of everything?

Make ends meet


Besides his large pay, he made a lot of
money from his estate yearly, yet he
was unable to make ends meet

Treasury


One day, Simeon ordered his
servant to draw some gold from his
treasury, but the servant told him
there was no gold left

Rightful


Give me one-third of your
wealth as my rightful share

Request


The old man, however,
refused his request at first

Require


As for Milania, she does not
require anything, as she was born
dumb

Equipment


Give me half the grain you
have, and you can keep the
farms equipment

Arrange


Well, I will go and arrange
matters so that you may have
your share

Contribute


You have never contributed to
the work on the farm

Grain


Give me half the grain you
have, and you can keep the
farms equipment

Plow


Among the animals, I will take only
the dark mare, as you wouldnt be
able to use her to plow the field
anyway
