Every day she used to spend time on the balcony of her house taking care of her plants and flowers. One day a young Moor passing by saw her and was captured by her beauty and declared his love to her, which was immediately returned.After some time, the girl discovered that her beautiful lover would soon have to leave her to return to his country where wife and children were waiting for him. She decided then to plot her revenge: she waited for the night to come and while he was sleeping she beheaded him.
