Speaker 1 (7s): And the Tuesday Everybody yeah. It's Tuesday. Woo. Time to get up and go to work. I'm excited. Got to love. Tuesday's who doesn't love it. Tuesday, come on. Cue with the program, gentlemen, will you let me, I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, will you let me tell you a little story as something that happened in Seville, it fits our situation's so perfectly that I'd like you to hear it.
Don Quixote told him to proceed and the priest and the women gave him their attention and he began is follows in the lunatic asylum. In Seville, there was a man put there by his family because he'd gone insane. He'd graduated as a student of Canon law from the university of Osuna. But even if he'd studied at Salamanca, most people would have considered him crazy.
After years of being locked away. This university graduate got it into his head that he'd become sane completely right in the head. And with this conviction, he wrote to the arch Bishop, begging him most earnestly and with very logical arguments to let him be released from the misery in which he'd been living since by the grace of God, he'd recovered his lost sanity. It, it was only because his family coveted his rightful share of their wealth, that he was still locked away and they would go on with that pretense until he was dead and buried.
The Archbishop persuaded by such a sensible and well organized letter ordered one of the chaplains to find out from him, the director of the asylum, if what the university graduates letters said was true and also told the Chaplin to speak to the lunatic himself.

The madman talks so very sensibly that the chaplain couldn't help, but believe him saying, and among other things, the madman told him that the director of the asylum was the very farthest thing from impartial, because he didn't want to give up the presence. The madams family gave him to keep him saying that their kinsmen was still out of his mind, despite lucid moments. So that the most serious obstacle to getting out of this misery was in fact exactly that great wealth in order to continue their enjoyment of what was rightfully his, his enemies.
Fraudulent only calls into question are Lords infinite mercy in having returned him from a state of beastiality and made him once more of a man. And in short, he made the director seem highly suspect his kinsmen greedy in cold blooded in himself. So exceedingly sensible That the chaplain made up his mind to take the madman away with him. So the Archbishop could see for himself, what was really going on in this whole affair, acting in good faith.
The pious chaplain asked the director to return to close. This university graduate would have been wearing when you entered the asylum to which the director replied that he'd better watch out because beyond any doubt in thi
