This excerpt is part of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, two lovers that have no permission from their parents to get married. Believing that Thisbe is gone, Pyramus hills himself, and, when she finds him, she does the same. The mythological story claims that Pyramus´blood sprayed all over the white fruit of a mulberry tree, turning it into a dark purple color, and that´s why the fruit from the mulberry tree always turns to a dark purple color when they become ripe.
