The Farce of Master Pierre Patelin

The character also goes by the name Pierre Pathelin.  This was an anonymous medieval farce discussing honesty, a characteristic that the people of this play lack. The plot concerns a lawyer who figures out a way to get fabric for free.  The draper, who sells low-quality merchandise, wants justice for the fabric.  He was also robbed previously by a shepherd. At the trial, the draper tries to explain both dilemmas at the trial only the judge gets confused.  The lawyer though gets what's coming to him. It was short but funny.
