This story was about a lord named March. He had a secret that nobody knew, except his barber. The secret was that March had horse ears. He was embarrassed and ashamed by them, so he never wanted anyone to see them.
He made his barber take an oath saying that he would never share the information with anyone. Eventually, the barber became ill because he had been keeping this secret for so long. The barber went to see a physician to get help with his illness.
The physician said that the only way he could get better was to share the secret. The barber whispered the secret to the ground, and where he did, the ground began to grow fine crops.
Later that evening, March had a party. This party involved music, drinking, and a lot of people. As a piper was playing, March found out that he knew his secret. March tried to kill him with his sword but could not. March was no longer ashamed of his ears. For they allowed him to hear the music extremely well.
