After his beloved Monna Giovanna becomes widowed, her son falls ill and asks for the falcon as the path to recovery. Driven by love and conscience, she decides to obtain it herself. The story unfolds through Federigo’s humble hospitality and the moral tension between affection, generosity, and the worth of what remains.","Federigo’s Falcon  \nGiovanni Boccaccio  \nEnglish  \nFederigo’s Falcon  \nStephanie Sismondo Osigan  \nGrade-10 Epidote  \nEnglish  \nRegion 10, Misamis Oriental, Philippines  \nCopyright © 2023, [https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQG](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQG)Pqzc8r14qxJ9Klio6bzx_XLNCwyqZDc6Q&usqp=CAU  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

As often happens to most gentlemen, he fell in love with a lady named Monna Giovanna, in her day considered to be one of the most beautiful and one of the most charming women that ever there was in Florence; and in order to win her love, he participated in jousts and tournaments, organized and gave feasts, and spent his money without restraint; but she, no less virtuous than beautiful, cared little for these things done on her behalf, nor did she care for him who did them. Now, as Federigo was spending far beyond his means and was taking nothing in, as easily happens he lost his wealth and became poor, with nothing but his little farm to his name (from whose revenues he lived very meagerly) and one falcon which was among the best in the world.  \nMore in love than ever, but knowing that he would never be able to live the way he wished to in the city, he went to live at Campi, where his farm was. There he passed his time hawking whenever he could, asked nothing of anyone, and endured his poverty patiently. Now, during the time that Federigo was reduced to dire need, it happened that the husband of Monna Giovanna fell ill, and realizing death was near, he made his last will.  \nHe was very rich, and he made his son, who was growing up, his heir, and, since he had loved Monna Giovanna very much, he made her his heir should his son die without a legitimate heir; and then he died.  \nMonna Giovanna was now a widow, and as is the custom among our women, she went to the country with her son to spend a year on one of her possessions very close by to Federigo’s farm, and it happened that this young boy became friends with Federigo and began to enjoy birds and hunting dogs; and after he had seen Federigo’s falcon fly many times, it pleased him so much that he very much wished it were his own, but he did not dare to ask for it, for he could see how dear it was to Federigo. And during this time, it happened that the young boy took ill, and his mother was much grieved, for he was her only child and she loved him enormously. She would spend the entire day by his side, never ceasing to comfort him, and often asking him if there was anything he desired, begging him to tell her what it might be, for if it were possible to obtain it, she would certainly do everything possible to get it. After the young boy had heard her make this offer many times, he said:  \n“Mother, if you can arrange for me to have Federigo’s falcon, I think I would be well very soon.”  \nWhen the lady heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and she began to think what she should do. She knew that Federigo had loved her for a long while, in spite of the fact that he never received a single glance from her, and so, she said to herself:  \n“How can I send or go and ask for this falcon of his which is, as I have heard tell, the best that ever flew, and besides this, his only means of support? And how can I be so insensitive as to wish to take away from this gentleman the only pleasure which is left to him?”  \nAnd involved in these thoughts, knowing that she was certain to have the bird if she asked for it, but not knowing what to say t","cbCaihY08J82kcEg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihY08J82kcEg","pdf",829262,1,13,"English","en",105,"# Story of Federigo and the falcon\n## Love, loss, and poverty\n## Illness, longing, and the falcon request\n## The journey to Federigo’s home\n## Hospitality and compensation","[{\"question\":\"Who is Federigo, and why does he become poor?\",\"answer\":\"Federigo is a young man from Florence who falls deeply in love and spends his wealth on tournaments, feasts, and courtly efforts.
