Story

This boy from a good family had always been curious, about everything and anything. Yet nobody let him express his sickly curiosity; on the contrary, it was oppressed. It was only when he was grown up and free that he expressed the beginnings of his sin when, at a banquet, he said he wanted to taste the servants' leftovers. Yes, he wanted to taste everything. What the poor eat, what the rich eat, what kings eat, what the gods eat and what beasts eat. He had to taste everything. From the most expensive dish to the oldest carrion.

His sin ended as pitifully as it had begun, perhaps it was one corpse too many or had he been poisoned out of fear of his behaviour? What is certain is that his last meal left him hungry.
