La Camisa de Margarita

Margarita Pareja, hija de Raimundo Pareja, es una jovencita que se enamorò de Luis Alcàzar, quien es pobre y recièn llegado a vivir a casa de su tìo, Don Honorato, quien es rico. Luis pide la mano de Margarita, pero su padre se la niega porque no desea ver a su hija casada con un pobre. Cuando el tìo Honorato se entera, se siente ofendido y Margarita se deprime a tal grado que los mèdicos le dicen a su padre que se va a morir si no la deja casarse con Luis.

Raimundo va con el tìo Honorato para proponer que se casen los muchachos, y Honorato le pone como condiciòn que si se casan, Margarita no puede traer nada al matrimonio; que deberà venir con las manos vacìas. Raimundo insiste que cuando menos deberà mandarla con una camisa de repuesto para que se pueda cambiar, a lo cual Honorato accede.

El dìa de la boda, Raimundo cumple con lo prometido y Margarita lleva sòlo una camisa. Lo que no sabe Honorato es que los encajes de la camisa costaron dos mil setecientos duros y el cordòn del cuello lleva brillantes que valen treinta mil morlacos.

Si Honorato hubiera sabido el valor de la camisa, hubiera hecho que los dos se divorciaran. Es por eso que la camisa de Margarita fue muy conocida.

Margarita´s Shirt

Margarita Pareja, daughter of Raimundo Pareja, is a young girl who fell in love with Luis Alcàzar, who is poor and just arrived to live with his uncle, Don Honorato, who is rich. Luis asks for Margarita's hand in marriage, but her father refuses because he doesn´t want to see his daughter married to someone poor. When the uncle, Honorato, hears about this, he is offended, and Margarita goes into such a depression that the doctors tell her father that she will die if he doesn´t let her marry Luis.

Raimundo goes to see Honorato to propose that the two marry, but Honorato puts down one condition: Margarita cannot bring anything into the marriage; she will have to come empty-handed. Raimundo insists that she al least be allowed to have an extra shirt to change into, and Honorato agrees.

The day of the wedding, Raimundo keeps his promise and all Margarita brings is an extra shirt. What Honorato doesn´t know is that the lace adorning the shirt is worth two-thousand seven-hundred "duros" and the cord around the neckline is made of diamonds valued at thirty thousand "morlacos."

If Honorato would´ve known the value of the shirt, he would have forced the two to divorce. That is why Margarita´s shirt became so well known.
