Overview

The old guide had for a long time held sway in his little village, and all the tourists who passed through it vied with each other to be conducted by him. But now all is changed, for he is no longer so surefooted and has a competitor in a villager who is young and who is preferred by all. The old guide hates his rival. The latter, however, does not reciprocate this feeling, and on the contrary wishes to be friendly, because he is in love with the daughter of the old man, but it is all in vain. The hatred of the old guide is rekindled by recent preferences and he decides to take revenge. He cuts a little footbridge, over which the young guide must pass, and waits. Here a terrible coincidence, instead of the young man, the old guide's wife passes over the bridge first and falls heavily into the abyss. Fortunately a rock breaks her fall and holds her. The young guide arrives at this moment...
