'Whoever it was that did it, don't do it again!'

Day 3 begins with two stories about men who satisfied their desires through deception, and got away with it. In the first (3.1), a labourer pretends to be deaf-mute in order to get hired by a nunnery, and quickly gets co-opted by the nuns to see to more than the garden. In the second (3.2), a groom disguises himself in order to sleep with a queen, and despite the king realising what happened almost immediately afterwards, remains unidentified thanks to his quick wits.

CONTENT WARNINGS: In the first story, dismissive language around the protagonist because he appears to be deaf, mute, and 'simple'. In the second story, a man sleeps with a woman who thinks he is her husband.
