I. The Porter and the Sailor

In a quiet street he put down his load and sat in the shade of a big house. Sweet smells came from its windows. Inside he could hear music and the songs of birds, and there was a smell of good food. He went up to one of the servants at the door.
“Who lives in this house?” he asked.
