[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A maid pleads with her lover, who tells her that he is going to woo a fairer lady, and she can chose another man for all he cares. She chases after him on foot. As they reach towns, he tries to bribe her with gifts, to leave him, but at the third town, he has fallen in love with her again. He may, instead of saying so, buy her a wedding ring as the final gift.

Spoilers end here.
