The Story
There is a river with a bridge over it, and a WIFE and her
HUSBAND live in a house on one side. The WIFE has a LOVER who
lives on the other side. The only way to get across the river
is to walk across the bridge or ask the BOATMAN to take you.
The HUSBAND has to go on an overnight business trip in a faraway
town.. The WIFE pleads with him to take her with him. She knows
if he doesn't she'll be unfaithful to him. The HUSBAND absolutely
refuses to take her because she will only be in the way of his
important business. So the husband goes alone.
That night the WIFE goes over the bridge & stays with
her LOVER. Dawn is almost up when the WIFE leaves because she
must be back home before her HUSBAND returns. She starts across
the bridge but sees an ASSASSIN waiting for her on the other
side. She knows if she tries to cross, he will murder her. In
terror, she runs up the side of the river and asks the BOATMAN
to take her across the river, but he wants half-a-crown. She
has no money, so he refuses to take her.
The WIFE runs back to the LOVER'S house & explains her
predicament and asks him for the half-a-crown to pay the BOATMAN.
The LOVER refuses, telling her it's her own fault for getting
into this situation. As dawn comes up the WIFE is nearly out
of her mind & decides to dash across the bridge. When she
comes face to face with the ASSASSIN, he takes a large knife
and stabs her until she is dead.
