This story basically involves a servant who works for a generous doctor and wants to have a wife but doesn't see how he since he has no money. The doctor is generous enough to provide the funds for the marriage of his servant and he also gives the servant a lot of gold throughout the next months or years. The servant and his wife both go to the extremes of faking their deaths to get more money out of the doctor. Once the doctor finds out what is going on he laughs it off and takes them back home. I would like to switch the characters and change the ending where the couple get punished for lying to the doctor. Maybe they could even get a real death sentence.
