Challenge: Avarita et Caritas, Invidia et Humanitas (Greed and Generosity, Envy and Kindness)

Up to the challenge: Rosamund de Totehille

Description of challenge:  In the Middle Ages, there was an expectation that texts ought not to be purely decorative, nor only utilitarian, but that they should be “utile et dulce” – useful and sweet. Tell a tale (in your choice of media) of generosity and kindness, a piece that provides instruction in some manner, or that somehow embodies the concept of utile et dulce.
