Znaš jedno je požuda, a drugo ljubav. Iako su povezane, ipak su potpuno različite. Za ovu prvu dovoljno je malo sladunjavog govora i lijepe odjeće, ali da bi dobio ovo drugo, muškarac se mora odreći svog rebra. Zauzvrat,njegova će žena poništiti Evim grijh i vratiti ga u raj.' 'Ali kako muškarac zna kad da uloži svoje rebro? Imam mnogo prijatelja koji su ostali bez ijednog rebra a, unem ti se, raja nikad nisu vidjeli.' Iskrena zabrinutost na mladićevom licu natjerala je Maestra Amborgia da kimne. 'Sam si rekao', potvrdio je. 'Muškarac zna, ali dječak ne.
