The Butterfly Mouse

The Butterfly Mouse (La parpaja topola) is a dramatic monologue by Dario Fo.

A simple young goatherd was scared of women.

In his valley lived a priest who was having a relationship with a young girl.

The girl's mother came to see the priest and told him to desist - so the priest plotted to get the goatherd married to the girl, so that he might continue having his illicit relationship.
