I am from a well off family, and I got engaged to get married to a girl from Puygarrig. She is pretty, everybody here and at Perpignan considers her charming. The best thing about her is that she's very rich. Her aunt at Prades left her all her property. I shall be very happy.
My mother gave me an ancient ring, very beautiful, a family heirloom, and I added some diamonds to it, which cost me cool twelve thousands, and I intended it for my future wife.
My father likes antiques. Recently, he found a bronze statue of Venus on our land. My father is obsessed with it. It's certainly dates from Romans. It's made from copper, and represents the most beautiful woman, with the face somewhat cruel, but lovely. My father put her near the tennis court. Tennis is my passion, and I am a very good player.
On the morning of my wedding, there was a game of tennis on the court: Spanish muleteers against locals. I was all dressed to go, in my wedding gear, and stood watching. Muleteers won, and I decided to play too, to uphold the honour of the province. I wore that twelve thousands ring on my finger, and I couldn't play properly with it on. So, I put it on the Venus' finger, and won the game. Then I was in a hurry to go to the wedding, and forgot the ring. I had to give my wife a simple golden ring when we exchanged vows. I thought that I would give her the nice one when we got home. But when we did, I couldn't pull it off Venus' finger! She closed her hand and bent her finger! It's true, but I am afraid to talk about it, in case people decide that I am delusional. In short, I am "married" to that statue and I can't get the ring off, what should I do?
